I don't know why I agreed to this shit, but I did.
On Saturday night this week, the HOYA newspaper where I worked in college is having a reunion, for the general years when I was there.
I didn't like a lot of people, but I sort of liked a few. A lot of them are, frankly assholes. I was not in the clique. I originated a job at the paper (copy editor). after I took the position, production time was cut by 3 hours a night. My recognition was a mug with the newspaper name. Today, there is a full staff of a dozen people that do the job I originated. Other than a mug at a staff meeting, I never got any recognition of any kind, ever.
as for my former compatriots, they are disgustingly successful. We have a Forbes editor, a CFO of Zynga games, a VP of finance at Facebook, a head of legal at Google, and a member of the Obama administration. me, well, you know.
It's at Jaleo in DC (love the place), 100 bucks a head. I would need to get a haircut, a new dress, shoes, handbag, and jewelry, because I have not bought any shit to wear in several years.
I have to confirm tomorrow.
why did I do this? should I do this? why should I do this?

I'd be curious to know what the recognition stuff has to do with anything

Of course you should do it. Especially if any of those folks you listed will be there.

You should go, because a lot can change over time. -- (link)
