Kat, I would sadly miss the reunion. I missed the last one my school hosted and was still able to connect with lots of people as a result of the various emails circulated afterwards with pictures and memories.
I hate my new office. just saying.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
At the tenth, I got roofied, so I wasn't really feeling nostalgic.
Wow! That sucks.
Happy Birthday NoiseDesign!
I have never gone to a reunion, but I am pretty sure that ours are neither fancy nor expensive. Like they are in a pavilion at the village park, with maybe a trip to the local hamburger stand! Our town was/is not very fancy.
I also have a question regarding "Administrative Professionals" (formerly Secretary's ) Day. They are having a luncheon for us, but they are using "Administrative Professionals" to mean all people who are staff, not professors. So IT and Admissions and research nurses are also being considered "Administrative Professionals", and I was thinking that they might be insulted. Or that it is weird.

I'd say that it's nice to be recognized for something positive, no matter what it's called.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Meant to say, oh my lord. I am so glad, Cass, that you had good friends there to take care of you and keep you from harm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Dear heavens, Cass. I am so glad you were with friends who took care of you.
I've never been to a reunion and don't expect to. First, my HS is in Denver, not exactly close. Second, my graduating class had 900. I didn't know 2/3 of them the day of graduation, so why would I want to get to know them now?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I doubt many people are gonna be bothered if they get a free lunch and time away from their work. I wonder if anyone will do anything at my job. One year was nothing, one year was company paid for lunch and gift card from my department.

The vegan Double Down is disgusting. Yet the regular Double Down appeals to me, but I am a 17 year old boy dietarily.
My reunion is expensive because flights to Ohio are $500+ right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, I would be annoyed if I were an administrative assistant, because isn't the whole point that they never get thanked? Unlike (possibly) other administrative (as opposed to academic) staff.
