longer vacation than i had planned

[Edit: I wrote in my blog about me being unfairly terminated from the Apple Store as a Mac Genius. It was my way of venting and getting it off my chest. It was not meant to be viewed by thousands of people. I am temporarily removing the text of that post because there are still unresolved issues that need to be taken care of first. I'm sorry there's nothing to see here now, but you can still read the rest of my blog if you so wish. :-) ]
