(still a little buzzed)

It was JP's going away party, tonight.:(:(:( We're all sorry to see him go, everyone likes JP (A.K.A. The Incredible Shrinking Man - he felt almost boney when I hugged him tonight), and he got a greater turnout of people to wish him well than has shown up to anything besides perhaps the Christmas party. Most of the people from the afternoon shift, even some who never show up for anything (like The Saxman), and even a few people from the morning shift. Anyway, my co-workers are a fun bunch, and very sweet - it was a marvelous time. The same guy who annoyed me Thursday and Monday (NotVery) was quite nice to me this evening.:) It's funny. People say we're one big, disfunctional family, and, yeah... I guess so. When one of the new guys first started he said, "all you need to do now is get drunk and yell at each other," and Big Mama responded "We've already done that." Yup. Although we actually get drunk and dance and hug each other. I don't think there's a single truly beligerant drunk among the bunch of us, now. If we did have, they've either gone or they get pulled along by the tide of the 'I luv ya man' drunks. ;) Probably it's one of those situations that's actually highly combustable and is going to go up in flames any day, but it's cool at the moment.

Now I have to tell the whole truth, because the timing on this is just too funny...

We began the going away party last night at RiRa, an Irish pub in the Old Port, but then most of us ajourned to Platinum Plus, a strip club. And it became such a large group mainly because Li'l Sis and ElvenGirl rallied the troops. I think they wanted to feel safe, and I that was the deciding factor for me so that I went - I wanted them to feel safe.

I get home from that party and made my post for the evening, and read other people's journals, and lemondropgirl had posted:

It may not surprise me, but I am absolutely fucking horrified.

BUSH ALLOWS GAYS TO BE FIRED FOR BEING GAY

Despite President Bush's pledge that homosexuals "ought to have the same
rights" (1) as all other people, his Administration this week ruled that
homosexuals can now be fired from the federal workforce because of their
sexual orientation.

And eor then responded to my comment:

That's the last post derien will be making until I get done running the
ethernet into the closet. :P
