I've worked approximately 10 minutes in the 6.5 hours I've been here. So I may be posting a lot. This is the equivalent of a lfight to Europe, except that they are paying me. if anyone is interested, I’m in the bowels of a hotel on a two day job, getting piad a lot of money to do almost nothing except read and surf the web.

My cat believes that when I take her to the vet, if she just hides her head under my jacket, she really can't be seen and technically isn't there. Therefore, it isn't happening. Or, it sounds like they are saying that a religious ceremony is not 'real' in some sense if a civil ceremony isn't valid? Would they really want to go there? all of these machinations to avoid the obvious make my head hurt.
