I've about had my fill of togetherness with the staff. I'm supposed to go out to the common room for fun and games. I can hear them gathering out there now. I'm debating on whether to try hiding in my room until someone comes looking for me.

Since the meeting was nice and long and boring and bore no relevance whatsoever to my job function, I had time to write that poem for my sister's wedding. I need to polish it up a bit, but I'm pretty pleased with it. That's one less thing I have to worry about before Saturday.

I just heard my name, somebody noticed I'm missing. I should go out there. Hopefully it won't be long before I can sneak back in here. I'm hoping to be able to answer my e-mail tonight. I'm also thinking about posting that poem up here. I sure wouldn't mind some objective feedback on it before I have to go read it out loud to my whole family.

Eugh, I can hear them taking role. I have to say that I rather resent being forced to socialize after working hours. Now they're banging on my door. Guess I should go.
