*pissed off*

I've got a possibility of getting a tour of a DoDDS school! An in, a contact, a SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME ACTUALLY BE KNOWN BY FACE OMG.

The problem? My fucking sister, who has decided that this is a FAMILY VACATION, so she's trying to find something, anything, to fuck this up so I can't get up there.

Not that she'd admit it. Oh, no, not her. But she wouldn't let me even explain the whole story, let alone my suggestion for how to work it out, until she'd spent ten minutes telling me that I was way out of line for even suggesting that I might take some time to pursue this dream I've been pursuing for, oh, THREE YEARS NOW, and that it was completely irrational that they might find something in East England that was interesting (like, I dunno, CAMBRIDGE) while I went.

So now I have to hope and pray that the car rental company will take cash, because our last full day in England is payday, and there's no way my credit card payment will go through that fast.

Maybe I am being selfish, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I frankly want to grab it with both hands if I can. We're going to be stuck together, the four of us, for ten days. I want to take one of them to try to get an "in" into the DoDDS system. If that's selfish and out of line, so fucking be it. I'll be out of her hair soon enough, if I move.
