It looks like some business appointments have been set up for me, without my knowledge or consent, for the week of Christmas.
As a result, I will have to delay, and shorten, my Bay Area trip. I'm getting fed up with my inability to separate my work and my play; while I have to respect others' playtime, nobody respects my own playtime. This is so wrong.
On a better note, I've found a great New Year's Eve party in San Francisco, held by Code Pink and Global Exchange. I think this is where I'll salvage my trip.
