we will have some generic invitation, and it will be FINE

Some guy on IO9 posted an invitation that was at least nominated for an award for novellas. I consider that the nuclear option, and will only invite people to my wedding verbally¹ if I see them in passing.

¹: It seems confusing² that 'verbally' sometimes means 'not written'

²: It also seems confusing that this one spreadsheet I'm printing out would take up more pages if I printed it on legal. I get why, but it seems confusing.

Calli, yes, if you email me at my profile addy, that will work.

I need to fix up my tattoos too.

Hey, it is finally Friday! What are people doing this weekend?

eta: I am probably going to spend most of it recovering from this week, which has been brutal workwise, but I also have a gardening project in mind for Sunday, and a bunch of little chores and errands.

Atlantic City for the day with a bus load of crazy people to celebrate my friend's 50 th birthday. I can't figure out what to wear!!!

I'm afraid I'm going to be sick this weekend, but we'll see if I can go to the beach tomorrow. Then also housework. No real plans!

I am working 8-6 tomorrow. (I am off today.) Sunday we might be going to my niece's birthday party (we only got invited yesterday, it is nearly 2 hours away, and Dillo gets barfy in cars, hence the maybeness.)

I have my choir's big kickoff weekend, so that will take up most of the day Saturday and a good chunk of Sunday afternoon as well. Otherwise, I don't know. Hmm. Rose is definitely at the age where she's bored just sitting around the house all weekend, so we need to come up with some more fun stuff to do with her. Zoo, park, library, farmer's market... what else?

flea,

can you give Dillo the wristbands? They really help me with carsickness.

Give him a sock.

Steph, I confused myself with your comment. First I was like, "masturbation reference?" then I was like "Potterverse elf freeing?" I am perhaps too tired.

I have folded all the clothes. I hate when there are multiple full baskets. I also hate when you are folding and you have a full set completed already and you look at the basket and realize you have just gotten to where the clothes are level with the basket's edge.

I work, allegedly, a 6 hour day. Or that's what I get paid for -- so I am contractually obligated to be at work from the hours of 7:52 - 3:29 with 25 minutes for lunch. You will notice that that's not 6 hours, but closer to 6 hours 30 minutes. This does not include all of the other loads of shit I do when I am not on the clock for those hours.

In other news, the gardeners just showed up so my dog is flipping out. I just want a nap which seems unlikely now.

My work day is 9-6 with an unpaid hour lunch. Due to the unanticipated suckiness of our latest release and the clusterfuck that is large companies upgrading to said latest release, I haven't gotten a lunch break of any sort in 2 months. Oh, but they bring in lunch for us to eat at our desks while we work! How generous! Free food because they appreciate us! No, free food because it's illegal not to let your employees eat at mealtimes, even in right to work states. There are people here who have never gotten the full hour lunch, due unwillingness/inability to get new people who will stay.

Certain supervisors will just blink at you in legitimate confusion and say, "But you're getting overtime. And free food. What else do you want?" Oh, I don't know, a freaking break? My nemesis criticized me for my lack of a sense of urgency the other day. Dude, my urgency in getting back to a single customer is not goign to change the fact that there are 23 people waiting in the phone queue with wait times of an hour and half. Perhaps you could harrass the couple of dozen other people in the room doing the exact same job I am?

I would enjoy seeing him eaten by zombies.
