Random thoughts III

To get into our payroll system we have to use a 12 digit password that changes once a month and the password cannot have 4 digit combination that is the same as any of the previous 20 passwords.

Example: if you have abc1 anywhere in your password, that cannot reappear for 20 pws.

That's aggressive, but I kinda get the caution with payroll systems. I have some really menial websites we use that are over the top with their security. Since they aren't shared, I generally have fun with them.

I learned an object lesson one day when the owner asked for my log-on and password so he could access something. I gave him my log-on and the spelled out my password for him: s-u-c-k-s-t-h-e-b-i-g-1-!

I've tempered my frustration with passwords since then.

I was just teasing, but seriously - don't invite people you don't want just to maintain numbers. Invite the people that you WANT to be there, the ones that will share your joy and amplify it.

It's between that and having to cut the list at some point. To be honest, the fewer people that attend, the less we spend.

I've already had one friend and one family member (and her family) tell me they won't be able to attend. I don't know if I should just go with it and reduce the guest list, or invite someone else in their place. You know, someone from the "Maybe, I don't know if I want to invite them" list.

What's the booze situation at the reception? If good, count me in.

Edit: also, does your fiancé have hot friends?

I just got one of those famous KC PMs where she sends a blank one.

We haven't decided on a booze situation yet, but we were thinking of doing an open bar for the first hour of the reception with a cash bar after that hour.

The friend situation? Nothing I would say that has to be pursued, but nothing that a guy would feel guilty about.

So they're good looking enough to not be ashamed but easy enough I wouldn't have to work hard? And an open bar? I'm there. Can you put me at a table with the easy friends?

She'll catch on to the Interwebs eventually

It's her way to tell you to reprimand yourself. She's getting kinda lazy that way

I think she still is trying to type on her phone like she's spelling out with a rotary phone like the good ole days.

I'll see what I can do.

If nothing less, you may have a chance to have your pants rocked. We're discussing having Cy make an appearance at the reception. (I think I may have mentioned that before.)

we went to a wedding two summers ago that had a drink of the hour. So the cocktail hour was like Sangria, then they had Long Islands, Tequila Sunrise......couple others. And each drink was available onward. So Sangria was available pretty much the whole night. They had also bought a bunch of wine and they must have had beer though I didn't see it. It was a really neat way to do things and apparently it was much cheaper than open bar. Not sure how it would compare to one hour of open bar. They also had the wedding at her parents' farm so there were no venue minimums on alcohol/bartenders or stuff like that.

Wednesday is usually the day I listen to the Tuesday podcast....I admit with a bit of embarrassment that for a split second today I looked, saw no podcast and thought....what the heck? Whar da podcast, Chris? Before I thought...oh...he got other stuff going on.

:embarrassed:

I wonder how the sleep, adjusting, and the whole "I don't want to put you down" is going. It was really hard for me to put Z in her bassinet at first.

To me, that sounds like simply a solution to the problem of either "Hmmm...this wedding isn't taking nearly enough planning for...how can I make it more complicated?" or "my friends had really complicated weddings...I need to find something that they didn't complicate and then complicate it so that I have a better wedding than they had"

:wink:

You know me, CG...I'm not a planner, and I'm not a complicater.

Since we're having the reception at the alumni center, we have to go with caterers and beverage suppliers from the center's approved list. So, our options may be limited.

Seemed pretty easy for them to do. They picked out their favorite drinks to be served and had beer and wine on the side. Probably a lot easier to do than figure out how to manage an open bar in a field.

yep, been there. I think ours did a corking fee, but even with that added, it was still cheaper to bring in our own wine.

And the alumni center has a policy that everything has to come from the vendors/nothing can be brought in from outside.

Which is understandable.

ah. They don't just make it financially less appealing, they flat out say no.

My sent items all contain posts...not sure what happened?
