Gack!
You know how it is, when you're working somewhere fairly large, and about once a week or so some berk you've never heard of spams the entire company with a grotesquely in-jokey invite to some truly hideous dive for a leaving do of some sort?

Well, it's possible to over-react to this. No, I didn't crash a total stranger's bash (although I've often been tempted to, just to see what happened - not that I would, half the time I don't even go places where I have been invited). I carefully checked up which mailing lists we'd access to, and carefully sent out the invite to my own leaving bash to just the "Interactive Media MIS" group, not realising that many of the folk I wanted to invite were on the "Interactive Media Marketing" list, so most of them will have assumed they've specifically not been invited...

I've tried slamming the stable door with an extra email, but most won't see it until tomorrow morning.
