A good time was had by all
The party was fun. The only part that wasn't fun was that the guy who retired only did it because he has cancer and can't work anymore. He's been there for 35 years, so he actually could have retired at any time if he wanted to but, he didn't want to. He even said that. But he said he'll be hanging around. I hope so.
When my editor and I went to get our first of our two free drinks, I saw that the bartender was someone who I went to high school but who always pretends she doesn't know me. (There were 62 people in our class. How could she not know me?) So when she gave me the drink, I thanked her and used her name. That's how I knew she was pretending she didn't know me. The look on her face didn't say "How does that woman know my name?" Besides, it was a party for the newspaper. My byline is in the newspaper so she knows I work there. Wouldn't she be able to put 2 and 2 together and figure out it was me. Not that it really bothers me. I was never friends with her in high school. Actually, she was one of the "mean girls." But, anyway ...
After the party, my editor, the sports guy and I went to the casino. That was fun, too. It was my first time and the sports guy, who goes there regularly, showed me around and gave me some tips and stuff. I didn't know we were going, so I didn't take a lot of money with me. That's probably a good thing. I only lost $5. They lost more than that. But it was still fun.
