About a month and a half ago, Andy and I organized a little gathering at our place for the people in my class to watch hockey on our big screen HDTV. It was informal, nothing special, but people said they would come, and then, last minute, canceled on us, or just didn't show. Only one person arrived, and she didn't even really like hockey, so I felt bad for her.
At my class' insistence, we decided to do it again, last night. It would be the best time for us, right in the middle of Andy's exams, and before my three-day work extravaganza before we leave on Thursday. I sent out an invitation to everyone and their spouses two weeks ago, to make sure there were no schedule conflicts. I got three responses from couples willing to come. Yesterday afternoon, one of them emailed to apologize that they couldn't come due to illness. That's fine. I got another email at 8:10 (that's twenty minutes before they were supposed to arrive), from another couple, saying they just couldn't make it. Didn't hear anything from anyone else.
At 9:00, a couple I'd invited but didn't hear from showed up. They brought their two-year-old daughter, which was nice, but meant that they couldn't stay long. And they weren't really interested in hockey, so again I felt bad that there weren't more people present who could talk about stuff that wasn't hockey (the hockey thing was a front, really, to get people together one more time before Christmas).
What's worse is Andy and I spent all day baking cookies and shortbread and cakes and we cleaned the house from top to bottom, and decorated it for Christmas and everything. And no one came.
So I'm not having any more parties until I can get signed and sword Affidavits from everyone saying that they're coming. It's just a waste of my time, and I'm more than a little ticked about it.
I'm looking forward to coming home. We'll essentially be homeless, which means that we will have none of the responsibility of hosting and worrying about that shit.

Posted by: Matt M at January 7, 2009 11:20 AMMy phone never corrects "fir" to "for", even though in a million years, I never plan on typing the word "fir" into a text or email on my phone. Is there a way to permanently delete it from my iPhone?
