I was kicking myself before, but quite frankly I'd rather have a job and
be unable to attend than not have a job and be able to attend ;-).

And if I didn't have a job (as was my situation a month ago) then I'd
probably be too poor to attend anyway *grin*.

But I'm still kicking myself that I can't attend. Damn, damn, damn. :(
