After 4 years of perfect attendance at Toronto Pride, it only makes sense I can't go for my 5th anniversary yet alone Pride's 25th celebration. Along with the perks of a new job, come new responsibilities and alas I'm "on-call" for Pride weekend. I was also on call for my birthday weekend and then will be for Canada Day weekend and potentially the weekend after that. Yes, 3 or 4 weeks straight! And also 3 important fun weekends to miss out on. Once the other new person starts then we'll be one week on, one week off. Tell all the boys I'll see them next year and I'll be back with a vengeance.
Note: on-call means being within 10 minutes of campus in case of emergencies.
