Buffy ,'Lessons'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
This is a geniuine excuse. "I'm sorry, Sophia, my father is hospitalized and I can't make it." You have every right to say that.
But -- it's not like I'm going to be *at* the hospital, or anything. If I weren't at the charity even, I'd probably be in a fetal position under all the covers.

You have every right to do that. Or to go home and take a hot bath, or a naked movie, or whatever. Don't force yourself to perform.
{{Teppy}} You need to take care of you, too. And if that means staying home to sweat it out or go to the hospital to be with your dad, do it. Tell your friend you will volunteer at a later date, but not tonight. Rainchecks are very much acceptable in this type situation.

Yeah, but....I'd just feel so *guilty* for bailing on her. (I'm not asking for reassurances that I shouldn't feel guilty; I'm just trying to convey my admittedly INSANE frame of mind right now.)

Absolutely.
Oh, Steph, I'm so sorry. {{{}}} and prayers headed to you and your dad.
OK.
People really shouldn't break with the tradition of phoning to offer you a job, but sending a letter or email to reject you. Because when you see the name of someone you interviewed with come up on caller ID, you think, "Woot! Got the job!" and it kinda sucks to learn otherwise and have to be all cool and civil about it when inside you're all, "Waaaah! But I aced the interview, dammit!"
And apparently I did ace the interview. They just went with someone who had lots of experience with fundraising auctions rather than generalist event planner me.
Still. Finding out this way was really of the suck.
Oh, Susan, that is difficult. They definitely should have gone the e-mail route. I'm sorry!
Have you guys seen this [link] book? It just came up in my reccomendations on Amazon (why? I have NO idea). Craziness!
the most FABULOUS thing
vw, do you get RefWorks paid through your school? I've always thought it was fabulous, but I'm too cheap to pay for it myself, especially now when I would mostly use it at work. Actually, now they probably wouldn't even let me load it on my work computer, but the money issue keeps me from getting to the point of asking.
cereal:
I'm so sorry Teppy. Everyone is right in saying that you have a perfectly valid excuse for not volunteering tonight. If you think it would take your mind off things for a little while, go ahead. Otherwise, I would recommend cancelling. I imagine that they have at least some other volunteers!
