Brian Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 08:36 AM) I ripped his heart out and stomped on it. Hope he doesn't hunt me down and murder me. How's this for perspective? The last time I saw this guy was 2003 or 2004. I got married in 2006 and he wasn't invited to my wedding. Never even considered it. Hopefully you're just being sarcastic and politely declined. That is odd though. I don't even get invited to weddings for people I haven't seen in less years. I was invited to a wedding, and attended, of a co-worker who I worked with for few months at the time./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'll bet his soon to be wife has a bunch of friends and he needs to "even out the wedding party". or He came from somewhere back in her long ago The sentimental fool don't see trying hard to recreate What had yet to be created once in her life She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say Only to realize It never really was She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him Somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday, somewhere, she will return She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be (if love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?) Is always better than nothing (fool's got the power) There's nothing at all (oh, now) But what a fool believes he sees (i believe she's never gone away) No wise man has the power To reason away (to reason away) What seems to be (oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama) Is always better than nothing (better than nothing) And nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 My buddy's wedding a few years ago, he had 4 groomsmen and his wife had 8 bridesmaids. It was weird seeing 4 girls walk down the aisle alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 There's going to be a total solar eclipse on August 21st, the first in nearly a century.

Jenksismyhero Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 For those with a typical 9-5, is anyone else working Monday? I assumed, wrongly, that my office would be closed. We just got the internal memo saying we're open. I'm kinda pissed about that. If Christmas falls on a Tuesday, we don't work Monday. Pretty sure the same goes for New Years.

BigSqwert Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 We're open until 2 pm on Monday but I'm guessing 75% of us are taking the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The explanation I got from my partner was "welcome to work." Yeah I dont know. It is up to the discretion of my bosses and they fear the corporate overlords. A lot of court holidays we dont get off, but we get random other days. I think Monday is going to be a waste, but I guess Ill take the easy day. Too bad the taste isnt open already because it would have been a good night to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the same goes for New Years. We are shut down...just means a floating holiday is used (vs. it really being an extra day off). We get 10 holidays and a couple move depending on when the holidays actually fall. My wife and most everyone I know don't get it off though.
