Bring your clothes

Text message I just received from my school: "Can you come today and bring your clothes?" I guess this means they're pleased with my job performance, but disappointed that I show up to work naked as a jay-bird.

Actually I just got through to the office, and they've decided to take me to Beijing for a few days to help them celebrate the 10th anniversary of the company. And they have also decided, in their boundless wisdom, to give me two (that's 2) hours notice. I'm packing as I type this. The only concrete info they could give me is, the party/gala/what-have-you is to be held in a castle. But this could really mean anything. I haven't even showered. I got to get going.
