We're from the Government...

.. we're here to confuse you.

I'm trying to do some research on Foster City in preparation for my interview with them on the 23rd. Their website is a bloody mess. Even the simplest of things is hard to find, like the name of the mayor. Admittedly, it is full of things that residents might be interested in, but for outsiders not curious about the permits needed to add a skylight to their home, the site is frustrating.

Along with that, the person I spoke with on the phone assured me that I could file my application online. So far, I haven't found that option.

Grrr.

In other news, My trip to Oregon for Orycon is looking more solid. I'll be taking Greyhound up to save money. 16 hours on a bus. Whee

Re: getting to Orycon, you might want to see if someone local is driving up, then offer to help with gas. It'd probably be faster, cheaper, and more pleasant than Greyhound.

I was considering that, but I'll be going up a few days early to visit a friend in Canby. She's taking me up to Mt. St. Helens so we can rock-geek together.

I don't mind Overbred Nervous Dog Lines. On the trip up, I'll be riding in daylight and get to see all the little towns along the way. My biggest problem will be getting ahold of a laptop or something to keep journal entries on.

Fry's was selling reconditioned Visor Prisms for $79 when I was there this afternoon.
