The Invitation

Who wants to be my Plus One?


In addition to this prestigious??? event, management is hosting a Thanksgiving Luncheon for the seniors on the 19th.

Color me amazed and suspicious — two events in a row.

Complex Manager has made it clear that events for the seniors are not of her own volition, rather are bones Corporate tosses us just prior to a rent increase, to justify the increase.

We'll know on the 20th what that increase is to be this time around.

How do you like that for timing? .... two parties just prior, with the Luncheon one day before amount of the increase is to be announced.

I guess that's kinder than the year management hosted a Luau for us and, while we were occupied with the Luau, rent increase notices were attached to our doors.

But still …… just the fact that Manager has to do these events, and is expected to host, is obviously traumatizing for her.

Inasmuch as I won’t be able to eat whatever management serves, it’s not worth my time to sign up for the Thanksgiving event just to watch Manager have yet another meltdown. I’ll have to depend on the grapevine for feedback.

If Manager were smart, instead of hiding in her office so staff would have to host the event, she should just call in sick. Staff would still have to work the event without her, but the atmosphere wouldn't be as tense as at the last event, and the optics would fly better than sulking/crying in one’s office.

As for 45/47’s Inauguration, I'm sure I'll have better things to do that day, won’t be watching it on TV, let alone attending as a seat filler.

    1. Maybe I should rub it in to his supporters around here, that I didn't vote for him but got an invite while they voted for, but probably got no invite.

  3. Jeepers, what bizarre marketing! Maybe that invite is a hoax or scam. Post it for anyone to go in your place! That'd be great if very few people showed up, but seems there were a few who voted for him. Melania will have a previous engagement and will be in NY. Bet she divorces him by the end of this term, but I think she likes Florida. Linda in Kansas

    1. Nope, not a hoax or scam. I've been on their mailing list just before and right after the election ended, because I years ago purchased a gift off their site for my old buddy Apache, who was a fan of the orange guy. They seem to think that qualifies me as a "patriot" that helped him get reelected. It's kind of interesting, giving me an inside view of what they're up to.

    1. I didn't open it to see. I never open to see. I just read the tag lines, but you can bet every email is a money grab by that grifter.

  6. Maybe Complex Manager can get a job with the new administration. They’re hiring incompetents.

    1. She's incompetent enough to fit right in, except her nationality might get her targeted for deportation.

  7. How in the world did you get on that inauguration list? What are you doing that they have your name? Run, Shirley, run. Just having that gang type your name could be dangerous.

    1. You should see the crap they're sending me, like one titled “Don’t let anybody view your screen, this is for patriots only ……” Another is titled “The real work of saving this country is only just beginning, are you standing ……”. One is designed to come directly from 45/47 and says “You’re incredible. Shirley I really mean that. You’re getting this email because I ……”. It all stems from 2019 when I bought those fake gold bars from 45’s site as a birthday gift for my old buddy Apache. Guess they’re dredging up every name from that old database. But, though I never open the email to see beyond the caption, I’m enjoying seeing how stupid his supporters are to fall for this crap.

    1. He's probably so desperate to fill seats that you can probably attend without an invitation.
