The dinner/auction last night was fun, although it was oddly absent of the "auction" part and the speech was entirely boring and somewhat infuriating (1 hour!). Bring up Iraq and 9-11 and watch my eyes glaze over. The dinner itself was terrific, i finally got to eat a cornish game hen and the dessert was nothing short of sublime. It was like need-a-cigarette sort of good.
a few glasses of wine plus a few carefully worded pleadings yielded me an invite to the office Christmas party. It would seem that even though I felt that I stayed there a year too long, I was not fully ready for me to part.
Give it a month and they will all have second thoughts of if I should come. But what's done is done and it means I have to buy a new party dress - darn! Time to go shopping.
