Ended up catching up with an old friend

Instead of going to the work event.  A girlfriend was going with me to the work event, she called and said she's gotten a flat and will be late, no biggie to me as I didn't even want to go with for starters.  So when she finally gets here to the house, we sit down and just catch up!  I had a much better time than the whole "function" thing.  Will I get in trouble, who knows, who cares and I will deal with that today.  I am so glad for my friends, all of you...without you my world would be empty.
