Gifts tend to be put in loose piles for each recipient, so if you opt to not give a gift to the graduate who you don't know, it certainly won't stand out.
Yes, good one.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone crass enough to ask why person X didn't get a card is the rude one.

True, the odds of them comparing notes on who gave what are low. But cards are cheap, if Grad #3 is who I think it is, her grand-parents have been friends of mine and Hubby's for decades.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Which reminds me that we have a graduation gift to get for this weekend. Sheesh, 3 of the niecephews have bought houses in the past several months, 1 had a new baby, and 1 just graduated from high school. Lots to celebrate, and a lot of gift cards. (Tim didn't understand why there aren't baby showers for second babies. "They still need diapers!" he said. So we sent them a Target gift card, but I suggested they buy some chocolate and wine for themselves, too.)

I just realized how old that statement makes me feel. Bad enough that the children of people I've known forever are graduates, but the grand-children of people I've known forever are graduates--and not even the oldest grand-children!
30 years should not pass so stealthily.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Don't think of it as missing a deadline, think of it as underscoring your indispensability to the company!
Ugh, I don't want to be indispensable, I want a vacation! Also "I am the only one who can do this and I was on vacation" is no excuse for missing a deadline!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anybody know anything about pillowfort.io? I can find stuff they've posting, but no real commentary from anyone else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been following them on Tumblr for a while. I don't know anything about who's behind it. If they're trying to scam people out of money, though, it's a long con.
