I sent out some reminder emails to friends who haven't RSVP'd yet and one of them who lives cross country wrote back to say she couldn't make it because she has to work that Monday. Umm...did she forget we work for the same "company"? (Quotes are because it's the federal government.) WTF?!?!? I know when she has to be in that office and when she can be out here. This is someone I've known for over 10 years and was one of the ones who said she'd be there no matter what. I'm hurt, pissed, and sad right now and just needed to vent. Grrr!
