Ah, what joy
My boss's kid goes to Oral Roberts University, and he is a big contributor to it. So, today I have privilege of having a nice Saturday of baby sitting the crews in the simulator turned into a fundie invasion- there is a alumni get together in our cafeteria. And they started it in the morning, so the only food is danishes (we should at least have barbecue- this is Texas, after all). I might need pharmaceuticals to get through this day :(

1. Just think of buying yourself a nice bottle of your poison of choice
and getting royally stewed as soon as you get home.

At least they'll be gone as soon as they start getting peckish again. The good thing about Danish is that it supplies a short sugar burst and then crashes blood sugar levels. They'll want to leave and look for fast food before you know it.

3. I'm getting the creeps just thinking about it.
Too many bad memories. There's a reason we never go to reunions or alumni events (except for the one where our alumni guy actually took us out to dinner to find out why we weren't giving any money to the Naz--we almost made him lose his temper :evilgrin: ).

4. What's worse
is some of them brought their spawn with them. Wish there was a way I could lock them out of my area. Might need to put this back as my screensaver:
