Am I a bad person for not wanting to go to my brother's rugby game because the game is and hour and a half drive and gas is $4 a gallon?

The newly revised strategic plan for this place has written into it, "explore the idea of a retreat."
In my head I'm screaming, "BAD, BAD, BAD IDEA!"

But the retreats I run are fun! and informative! and actually useful rather than being a terrible, manipulative waste of time.
Have you had bad experiences Sparky?
PS: warm thoughts happening for the Sassy girl.

Unrelated to anything, can I just say that I've discovered the greatest treat ever? Creamy vanilla yogurt mixed with pulpy orange juice.
Serious.
I'm in creamsicle heaven...without the brain freeze, the extra calories, having to wait for the damn tinkly ice cream truck and the stick that, even though you know you shouldn't, you can't help yourself from licking at the end and then getting that nasty stick taste that ruins the whole glorious creamsicle experience.
I'm totally blissed out.

A yearbook staffer just came to ask me about my classes. Which is great and all, and they're doing stuff they should be proud of, but I'm no good on the spot, people! EMAIL!

Dear Parent:
When you call me to ask me questions about your child's future it is a good idea if you do not say "hello [first name],this is Mrs [kid's last name], [kid]'s mother. That irritates me, and makes it seem like you think that you are more important than I am, when in fact, the opposite is true.
Also, when I am answering your questions, do not keep interrupting me to give me irrelevant information that confuses the issue.
Please also HAVE YOUR SHIT TOGETHER so that when I ask you questions in order to ascertain your situation, because you have no fucking clue, you can answer them coherently instead of reading me the letter that is NOT RELEVANT several times.
No love,
Vortex

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Sox, gmail isn't the problem, life is my problem. I'll reply now.
Timelies! I can't wait for next Tuesday. These next few days have Too Much Work. But at least I'm not on the rodent boat. My diamond shoes, let me show you them.

Retreats that you investigate, find meaningful, decide to attend: OK.
Retreats that management thinks will magically overcome organizational and personnel issues through forced socialization: Not OK.
