UPDATE !commenters:

TL;DR: GOOD! NOT GOOF!

VERY SUCCESSFUL DAY, FRIENDS.

My body is broken. That's not terribly abnormal. I am grateful I do not work Fridays.

People loved my food. Many, many others contributed lovely dishes. Some perhaps not so much. All were appreciated. The turnout was INSANE. I called my boss, explained that I'd overworked 2.5 hours, and surprisingly, she insisted I log the correct hours in. Guess she's in a good mood. Very grateful for extra income.

The only piece left of the chicken is my OG personal choice from hitting up the buffet table with the first wave of attendance. I'm going to heat it and my corner of leftover au gratin potatoes, chug a green smoothie, and go spend time with a special man in the nice, warm bed :marseyjump: :marseyandmarcus:

To be fair, my worry was not uncalled for, that this would flop. I spent 45 mins prepping my office and another reception area, and then paced around nit picking for about half an hour more before people showed up as a group all at once! Things got busy, and fast! It was a good day! I am thankful.

WE ARE PLANNING ANOTHER BASICALLY IDENTICAL EVENT FOR NEXT MONTH, I AM VERY EXCITED NOW! The planning begins!

I'm glad it went well! (although I gotta say I told u so :marseysmug2: )

That's not surprising bb that's just (a) being reasonable and also (b) following the law and not committing wage theft, like they literally gave you permission to do it on company time they owe you that money. Still glad u got that bag tho.

I understand, Tempest. Since I'm being pretty mask off about boss, I'll just say, everytime we speak, she manages to interject that I've maxxed my hours, and if I "add more it hurts the payroll process." She.. is protective of her bottom line.

Anyways I hope the good vibes from this stay with you at least through the weekend :marseyjam:

She's not the worst, she's just a unique flavor of social literacy. She's the boss, and I truly don't answer to much of anything. I like being my own department, however, there's no one who can help me troubleshoot verbalized issues. That is my biggest stressor. :marseygiveup:
