So if anyone who happens to be reading my journal at the moment is also planning to be around for the March for Choice (aka March for Women's Lives) on 4/25/04, let me know. I've got a party (fundraiser type thing) for work on 4/24 and I'd love for people to come out for both. (I've got the beginnings of an invite list for Saturday night, but it always helps to throw it here, because I know there's someone I'll forget.) If you do want to come out for one, or both of those events let me know. I'll mail out formal invites for the fundraiser soon-ish, and a reminder e-mail to anyone I can think of later this week. You might want to make sure I have your snail mail address too so I can send you formal invites.

The fundraiser is actually a lot of fun-we have a small party early in the evening, around 6 or so, for dinner etc. and then later on, closer to 8, our party, and all the others in the region head over to the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria for dessert, dancing and acutions (both silent and otherwise.) What I did for the "fundraiser" part last year was ask people to contribute $10/person, more if you can, less if you can't.

Anyway, save that date. I've got friends coming in from out of town, and it'll be fun.

And in other work related news...

Apparently we own the piece of statistical software we need to make the data entry possible, but 1. no one knows where it is, and 2. no one knows how many licenses we have for it. *sigh*

I'm planning on doing the march.

As to the software, if it was purchased through the company itself, call them. They'll usually be happy to tell you how many licenses you have and often will send you out another copy of the software or give you a link to download it.

And since you're local, I put you down on the invite list for Saturday night, too.

The woman who we usually work with from GMU is coming this afternoon to do some stuff anyway, and will have the information, I think. The whole story is far weirder than I wrote it out to be, and hopefully I can resolve it today and get it on the computers.

probably the 10th person to show you this...

Have you seen this?

What do you think? I gotta think at least they know they have to use soemthing, although they should be taught the next step that their choices aren't going to work, and then get hold of free condoms.

I thought that using saran wrap for dental dams was consider fine?

Re: probably the 10th person to show you this...

As dental dams yes, as condoms, no. The condom is supposed to be sealed and um, worn in such a way that it won't leak. And even if you wrapped the dick up in saran wrap, stuff could still ooze out...is this visual working, or no?

Re: probably the 10th person to show you this...

Uh, yes, thank you. I wonder about those new saran wrap quick covers work, but you would still need to do something like tape it down which I can't imagine men being into.

Worked for me.

It's frustrating that this is happening, because at least these guys KNOW they should be using condoms and don't have some inflated sense of immortality. Unfortunately it seems like they don't have the prolific free condom bowls that i see here. :(

well i've figured out what the conflict for that weekend is, but i'm not sure that it's still a conflict. hmmmm.

still it's a little close to passover when i'm already taking time off. hmmmm some more.

my god the years are short these days--i feel like it's already may.
