Thursday, October 28, 1999We had a fun day at work with everyone in costume and all the areas decorated. It was quite hectic though with people coming through constantly to look at everything. Our "Jungle Planet" got it's share of oohs and aahs though we didn't put nearly as much work into it as was put into some of the other areas. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I really dread it. I know I'll enjoy it once I'm there but I have a high resistance to any type of social occasion above pizza and beer. It doesn't help that I haven't been to anything dressy since I quit smoking and gained weight. All I have is the few dresses that I occasionally wear to work and they are fairly casual but will have to do. I'm not feeling too well either as I've woken up with a sore throat every morning for a couple weeks. It goes away but I feel more tired than I used to. I think I haven't really recovered from the flu I had a few weeks ago. If I don't feel to good tomorrow afternoon I know I won't go to the wedding because I get so anxious about social occasions anyway. It's ok if I'm just going out for beer or hamburgers or at someone's home, but I worry terribly about looking out of place and being inappropriately dressed. I wish I had the nerve to just wear jeans and tshirts to everything and the hell with everyone else. I think that because I'm not good at the social niceties I worry more about what I wear figuring that if I were dressed to kill it wouldn't matter that I find small talk to be very difficult. I watching a show on great ads. They are so good, bad and/or funny. An ad is often more interesting and vivid that a two hour multi money and time wannabe blockbuster. They have to put so much in such little time so the good ones are great. Of course, the bad ones grate on your nerves the second time you see them (some of them the first time!).
