Aug. 23rd, 2011 11:36 amEver have a party and no one wants to come?
Sent out the notice about the department picnic last week, and the directions today (serving as a reminder). Now, I know - no weekend is gonna work for everyone. And it's slightly short notice (just short of 4 weeks), so many people already have plans. But out of the first 12+ responses, I've got only ONE person (and her husband and kids) who are coming. One. Out of 14 so far.
And me.
So. The department wants to do social things, except that they don't.
The tide will turn. I know there are people who will come but just haven't told me (please, let this be true). I know that this department in particular is REALLY BAD about rsvp-ing. For anything. So I think it's not as bad as it feels. But still, gotta say, what's running through my heart is: Why don't they like me? j/k, sorta.
And it's got to start somewhere. So even if it's just me and one family, we'll have a great time.
And if by next week I still have no other takers, well... Anyone want to have a picnic in Chestnut Hill on September 10th?
