My workplace wants to have a holiday party on Dec 15th, a Friday.
My problem? In order for Andi to go, she would have to 1, take off work, 2, Drive 50 miles to meet me at work, 3, leave one van at my workplace, to drive 20 miles *further* and 4, After the party we would both have to drive in separate vehicles back home.
Second choice: she would have to 1, take off work, 2, I would have to take off work three or four hours early, 3, drive 50 miles to pick her up, 4, drive back 70 miles to the party, then drive 70 miles back home afterwards.
Trudy! I foresee another trip to Peru in your future: [link]
yeah, sucky when you work so far away from home...
We have a holiday luncheon thing that's part of the regular scheduled meetings we have through out the year. The food isn't bad and there are drawings for small prizes and everyone gets a company mug as a gift. Plus there is usually food left over so most people get to take something home for dinner.
Teppy, I seem to recall your having some "copyright infringement" notice troubles from your ISP. What did you do? How did it go? I just got a notice and wonder whether it's worth it to file a counter-notification or just take it as the warning it is and lie low for a while and be more careful.
Peru has a pre-Columbian tradition of erotic art. It's really trippy to walk around a museum and see small children gathered around pitchers and pots clearly (and in no way stylized) depicting naked people doing various sexual things. It doesn't surprise me at all that the locals in the article see it as a tempest in a tea pot -- though it does surprise me the journalist makes no mention of the history of eroticism.
Hah! That sounds trip-to-Peru worthy. Oh, H brought home a catalog from the Museum of Erotica in Sweden when she was there with the fucking bastard last year. I'll see if I can dig it up and bring it with this weekend.

They actually suspended my account and sent me an Official Form that I had to fill out and return, indicating either (1) I had removed the material in question or (2) I disputed the claim and was willing to undergo further investigation.
Then, the Official Letter said, if I chose #1, it would still take -- and I quote -- no less than 10 business days to reinstate my service. Because they transfer the data packets by hand, apparently. Uphill. Both ways. In an ASDL line.
P-C, is your account still active? If the notice you got was just a warning, I'd say lie low for a while.
don't really have holiday parties at the library - however, tomorrow is pie day. the town brings in tons of pies for the worker bees. mmm....pie.
