This is not what I signed up for

This past weekend I also heard the vicious, vicious rumor that they are moving the route for some of the Mardi Gras parades from Napolean to Jefferson Ave.  This is a vicious rumor because I happen to live on Jefferson Ave at St. Charles where the bend in the route would be.  I chose not to be on the parade route for a reason.  I don't want to have to deal with not being able to park, having people (and their trash) all over my yard, to having people trying to sneak into my apartment to use my bathroom and steal my beer (not that I'm that likely to have beer but one of my co-workers had this problem at her house on St. Charles).  Also, I'm going to be expected to host all of my co-workers, which wouldn't be too bad for one parade or even for a day, but it's likely to turn into people showing up whenever they feel like it from the time we get in from the field on Wednesday afternoon to the time we leave again for the feild the following Wednesday morning. 

Well, if nothing else it will be a time to tryout all kinds of appetizer recipies, since I never get the chance any other time.

I love appetizers. And I have all sorts of entertaining cookbooks but I never entertain.

I hope for you that the rumor isn't true, because it really sounds annoying. And if it's true I hope you still have fun with all your co-workers.

Thank you. I'm sure I will have fun once I gear myself up for it.

so i looked it up, and it seems like it was all a lie. which is weird, because everyone in the office seemed to know about what was going on except me. but the maps online remain unchanged..... regardless, the parking and sleepover offers still stand.

That's a bit of a relief. Although, I suppose it is possible that they've told the business owners along the street but not released the information to the general public yet. In which case, my car will be hanging out with you.
