I'm staring at the invite to Allyson and Guest, and seriously, kill me.
I HAVE NO GUEST, OKAY? I AM A BIG LOSER WITH NO GUEST. I HAVE TO SIT THERE, BY MYSELF, AS AN ODD NUMBER, SCREWING UP YOUR SEATING ARRANGEMENTS.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

see, a day event is ACTUALLY a gift to your staff. A night event on a MONDAY, nsm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started to work myself into a state about the seating arrangements at Thanksgiving, convinced that the only reason I was sitting next to my grandmother is because we were the only two grown-ups there without spouses/partners.

I agree. Our weekend extravaganzas just before Christmas are killing me, and I don't even have much family.

Definitely better than a kick in the face. Although last year's day event in a BAR was more of a gift, IMO.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Bring a homeless guy. Charitable and funny.

I was once at a wedding reception seated at a table that was ALL single people without dates. Which would have been handy if everyone else waan't related, and I wasn't really interested in hooking up at my friend's brother's wedding, with my friends cousins.

Ours is during the day. And charging it to an job code is frowned on. And there is booze. About 3/4 of the group can use partial vacation days. The rest can't. I make myself seen and then leave.
Cute little bird outside the window. Very wee and round like a golfball.
Oh& I saw a racoon the other might on the way home. Which isn't remarkable except it climbed out of the gutter on a very busy street, looked around and toddled back in. It was strange.

huh, I have never been bothered by plus ones on invites of any kind. I also can't imagine bringing a BF to a wedding or an office event if they did not already know the people.

Wow. So my students are wonderful and smart and nice and... say terribly offensive things without any idea they're doing it. While claiming to be "the least racist person, like, on earth."
I know this isn't a surprise. They're high school students. But... wow.
