well, that was fun. apparently there was a meltdown amongst the surprise party planners. i had said last week i wasn't sure about going 80s dancing, the cover for the party, because i didn't want to dance under the influence of pain or vicodin. this threw some people into panic and some into despair and some took it personally.
jeff, fortunately, told me on friday that there was a party happening and i should act surprised, so when chuck emailed me to tell me about the party today, i was totally thrown for a loop. i did act surprised and said i had plans with becky & jennifer and cc:ed them both, hoping to mess with him a little since i had a feeling this was an email born from panic rather than a known effort. his email surprised and frustrated jennifer, who has apparently been planning this party since i told her i was leaving in february or march. so today has been a huge complex thing with lots of paging and calling and emails, with everyone having a different opinion about what did or should happen, but what did i expect?
update: the venue has been changed to jeff's house for no apparent reason. i saw the guest list, which includes a whole lotta instructors.
