This Space Reserved for Mari's Story about a Ghastly Firm Party

 I'll get to it tomorrow (Monday) but every time I try to post, the people that pay me start sending emails strongly suggesting I do something else. Like bill more than 3 hours a day.

Back tomorrow

Ok it's tomorrow, so here you go: our marketing people have been continually nagging partners to "write a book" via that Amazon self-publishing thing, and then foist it on clients as a freebie. Basically just collect a bunch of memos on a legal topic, turn them into chapters, slap a cover on it and voila! you got a book.

Normally this would be no big deal but the partner in our group who actually did it now wants to have a "book party"  like a real author with a real publisher.  Fine, who cares EXCEPT this party is going to be held at our office and...everyone in our group is expected to invite people.

So I was forced to hand over email addresses of 20 people  and then "follow up" when they (surprise) do not RSVP.  Seriously, who on earth wants to go to a party at a law firm?
