I need help!!! Just heard from a colleague who’s better friends with my boss than I am. Apparently, my boss wants to do a Labor Day creative CAMPING retreat. I am responsible for creating some of our strategic material, so I will definitely be invited, but I DEFINITELY HATE CAMPING!!!!

What can I do? Can I say I hate camping and try to get the retreat to be less “dig a hole to go to the bathroom!!” Or do I just have to suck it up?

WWYD?

For the time being I'd advise patience. It's unlikely that a company thing would entail serious camping. Probably more like go somewhere and stay in a nice cabin and call it camping.

Thanks! I hope you’re right !

I love camping and even I would find an outing like this to be torture. I would wait and see what happens, because maybe the boss was just brainstorming and will realize how incredibly stupid this idea is.

This week, I received a letter in the mail from a Catholic church in SC. So apparently my ex is trying to get our marriage annulled. We have been divorced for 20 years now. The letter said they wanted to ask me general questions about our marriage. I really don't want to talk to anybody about my past relationship with my ex. The letter said they could issue a subpoena to make me comply. Not sure why she is doing this? She remarried and had a child. So not sure what she has to gain by this? Cont.
