I’ve been back from Cancun for a week now, just missing Hurricane Wilma. While I was there it was awesome. It’s too bad what’s happened over there for now, as tourism is the economy there.
On a totally different note, I do not and will not ever understand women. I was chewed out by a friend of mine recently about an evite invitation. I admit that I did not read it carefully, but after showing it to a few of my co-workers, they all came away with the impression that it was a pumpkin carving event. They all missed the fact that there was a brunch in there too. Since I’m not so hot about pumpkin carving, I was still deciding whether to go or not.
Anyhow, we’re chatting about it, and it’s clarified that brunch is actually the main event. Then she complains that “everyone just reads the evite but they don’t respond
or they just tell me verbally”. So to explain why, I mention how it’s easier for people to disregard mass emails, because you’re a small percentage of the invite and it’s easy to hide behind that. She then proceeds to go ballistic about how this is not true, because 30 people who have attended the event before and know what it’s about have responded already. I find myself disinvited.
Wait, didn’t you just complain about how people don’t respond? Huh?!
