I'll have to go to bed soon - very early start tomorrow, to go to a spa/conference place with work. We'll have a planning session for next semester, five hours or so, and then there will be Japanese baths and swimming and dinner, all paid for by work. Most people will stay overnight at the hotel, also paid for by work.

However, I'll leave immediately after the planning session. There is no way I'll get into a swimsuit in front of any of my work mates, I don't think it's reasonable to expect that of us, and I do not appreciate having to travel almost three hours in each direction (bus, train, boat) for a five-hour meeting. But I have to go, I don't have a choice, and everybody else loves this annual spa thing and I don't have to whine about it - I do get a free lunch, and coffee.
