So, here's the deal.

My workplace is in a strange position right now.  My boss (Marc) decided
just to stop coming into work.  Various people are pleading with him to
return, but unless/until that happens, I am bossless.  In order for me to
take any sort of a vacation, my boss must sign my vacation form.  So, it's
undetermined whether or if I'd be able to take vacation any time soon.

It's also unclear whether my workplace will continue to exist.
Apparently, in the last round of fund-raising, we only got two more months
of funding (that brings us to end of June).  We (my workplace), of course,
have no customers and unless we sell something PDQ, there won't be much
point, the funding will be for-naught.

Give my precarious job situation, I probably shouldn't be extravagantly
spending money -- only spending on things which will either get me another
job or generate income somehow.  (Unless Noelle wants to move to Seattle :-)

Divorces more often than not are usually due to money situations and
problems.  People get annoyed and frustrated when people they know are no
longer able to do things (vacations) or get things (gifts) when money flow
is retarded or stopped.  (See the movie "Time Out" sometime.)  But, that's
life in America -- competition at any cost, survival of the fittest, etc.
And, unless Americans become more European in their ways, the treadmill
will forever be running until we (Americans) either get lucky or die.
Pennies must be pinched in these times.

Anyway, I guess it's still possible for me to attend your wedding, but
it's improbable at this point.
