I was looking at instacart this morning and it turns out that they added Wegmans to their delivery options. So, I can get everything I need for the party delivered including the alcohol. Which is a huge relief. Everything is being delivered tomorrow.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Our wings are not tired.
Delivery is the absolute best.

Victory!

Last time I checked they weren't on there and slow cooking polenta, pancetta, etc aren't available at the other markets they use. Or at least the items aren't available for delivery. Plus most grocery stores still don't have alcohol here.

sigh ... my schedule this week somehow includes 6.5 hours of meetings - one two-hour staff meeting tomorrow (followed by pizza), a two-hour conference call on Monday, one half-hour conference call today and two one-hour conference calls tomorrow ... just kill me now (I have to write up meeting notes for the conference calls)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's hilarious, Toddson, because I don't think a day is bad until it includes 6.5 hours of meetings!
My boss is on vacation this week, but I just heard her screaming down the hall (in a good way -- she's just loud) because our upcoming new Big Boss is here for a couple of days.

Hooray, sj!
I feel your pain, Toddson. I'm actually not to badly overscheduled with meetings right at the moment, but I did have a half-hour training that starts at 11 appear on my calendar this morning at 9. So that's a delight.

I think it's the two-hour staff meeting that's hitting me hardest ... we had three hours on our new "branding initiative" last week ... which was pretty much content-free. Tomorrow's meeting is supposed to be on the same subject.
And I get annoyed when we have a meeting that is SO important everyone has to stop actual work and go sit in a conference room to be nattered at ... and watch a number of staff sit there on their phones, ignoring what's going on. I don't think I could get away with that, or I might be less annoyed.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, that meeting sounds terrible!

I have given feedback to my boss on numerous occasions that meetings longer than 1 hour MUST include food.
