I tried not to sound too bitter or too excited

I got my travel in and I guess the trip is back on again! I'm not going to say who because I'm not in the clear yet (I can't say terrible things incase someone finds this before I leave) but, someone said to me over the phone the other day "the next time you call me, I want you to tell me that after all they put you through, you decided you are going to England on someone else's dime and you're going to get drunk every night and have a ball". I don't want to make the trip quite that useless (although I'm looking forward to drinking legally), but I'm still bitter about the series of events that ranged over half a year to make this work out! Here's the first notice I gave. I tried not to sound too much like I was saying "screw you" or too much like I was saying "screw you, I'm going to go party"

All,

I wanted to make you immediately aware that it has been finally decided I will be going to the UK from Sunday, July 27^th returning Friday, August 8^th. I will be here at DTC the week of Monday, August 11^th with my last day at Ricardo being Friday, August 15^th.

More to come tomorrow about what I’ve decided I can manage to complete before I leave. I am trying to balance and finalize the list between major projects for both departments before I officially send it out.

Regards,
Tammy
