anyway, if he suggests anything other than just the 2 of us hanging out...i'm bailing. i'm not going to hang with a bunch of his friends as if i'm one of them. especially because i'm only that by default/demotion.

Very much rude, but you won’t have to look him in the eyes when you hit that puppy with the newspaper, so your call.

I was assuming you might be sick, you could also go that route, I was a bit under this morning, well just a sore throat.

I’m giving the reach around here too, I spent 1.5 hours on stringpong then I’ve needed like 4 hours for special projects and bookepping. I’m at like 70% for my daily work. Yuk, I need to get my ass out of bed tomorrow and get in here early.
