When work gets in the way of life....

In case anyone cares... I might not be at the monthly 2nd Saturday party this month. My company is having a picnic on the same day. Back in May, when the picnic was 1st announced, the 2 main planners were asking for a volunteer from each department to be a part of the Planning Committee. So....since I am the only non-exempt employee in Admin/HR....guess who gets 'volunteered' to be on the committee? Anyways....one of the requirements of being a 'volunteer' is that you must be at the picnic site in Martinez at 8:30 AM, to help set-up. So...since Martinez is about a hour drive from me....that means Rik & I (yes he gets dragged to Company Stuff to do the spousal thing) will be waking up around 6:30 on a fucking Saturday morning. I probably won't be home until 4:30, at the earliest....so I honestly can't say whether or not I'll be up for another long drive & partying into the wee hours of the night. I'm just going to play it by ear. If you see me...well then, I guess I decided to go. :)
