It's just all kind of crazy. I have no idea what I'm doing, and that's probably half of the fun.

Bummer - no mid-year raise. HR says it is too soon after the shift into the new job. New boss instead is trying to position me for a better year end promotion/raise. Kinda bummed about the $, but happy to have an advocate.

ARGH! My friend M is in town after moving away 3 years ago. He and his wife are staying with me. I'm throwing a little cocktail party, wanted to keep it small, because it's a weeknight and we're going out afterward with a bigger group. So, he sends out the evite with his guest list. I get an email from a friend saying "I took the liberty of adding people that I knew he'd want to see"

I am REALLY ANNOYED. First of all, she wasn't even a good enough friend to get invited to the wedding, whereas I was IN the wedding. Why would she presume to know him better than I do? Even if she assumed that I'd put the list together rather than him, why would she just invite people to my house without asking me? I mean, if you see a really small guest list, wouldn't you think that there's a reason?

why would she just invite people to my house without asking me?

Can you tell her that you simply don't have room for *her* guests, and since she took the liberty of inviting them, she needs to un-invite them?

Or, even if she un-invites them, will that make you look like an asshole to the extra guests (the ones she invited)?

I think I'm just having a cranky month, because I would rip this bitch a new one and tell her to clean up her mess.

What Teppy said. That is just fucking rude. Unfortunately, I have no advice as I am a thing that spelunks when the caves are avaiable.

Teppy is my sister in crankiness. I'd take the liberty of cluesticking the moron and telling her to un-invite the guests.

Ugh, Vortex. That is VERY cranky making and annoying. Fucking rude, indeed.

OK, I'm also looking at this dress on b&lu: [link]

Last night I had dinner at my dad's and used the word "cranky" in conversation. I got called out for using an old fashioned word. WTF? Both K-Bug and I looked at eachother like - eh, we use that all the time.

Has "cranky" fallen out of usage?

Can you tell her that you simply don't have room for *her* guests, and since she took the liberty of inviting them, she needs to un-invite them?

I sent her an email that said basically "he made the guest list,I didn't. he kept it small at my request because more than the invited number would be a big hassle. I guess he forgot to remove the option to invite other people" If that's not a hint, I don't know what is.

Too bad email can't deliver a clue-by-four as an attachment.
