Party on, Wayne!

Oh feck. Today is Spring Party day, and I forgot. If I’d remembered, I’d probably’ve stayed home. We have an obnoxious number of parties here. It seems like a week can’t go by without at least one of the sub-units celebrating something. I wouldn’t mind it so much–aside from the noise distraction–if the department head didn’t go around, rounding up strays and requesting that they attend. I’m sorry, but being required to participate is not okay, especially when at least once a year, we are sent an e-mail reminder that party attendance is not to be done on paid time. We have to use our break time, or make up the lost time, if we go to a party. Fuck that!
