It occurs to me that I could use my own image in that sequence, but I don't think I'd like what I saw.
Ben has just been invoicing for some writing work he's been doing. It's made his day already.

Wow - have I not posted for that long?!

Was the only person not involved in a office meeting today. In the past have been included so not sure if I should be offended by this or take it as a sign I'm doing my job badly.I Would like to think that it's because I am the person who was most likely to be called out to deal with things and also with the most amount of work to by a certain day, but not so sure.
I didn't get fired though, so that is a good thing.

Too late, you'll have to tell S you can't marry him after all, because you married the Sun God on top of Kilomanjaro.

You will need to find a new one or make a cardboard replica.
Ben is awaiting dinner like a hungry dog.

Sorry you feel that way. 
The truth is, you don't know why you weren't invited into the meeting and there is no point speculating. Is there someone you can ask?
I used to do a lot of so-called 'mind reading'. I would take a situation, e.g. Someone ignoring me in the street, and jump to a negative conclusion on limited information. 'They ignored me because they hate me' rather than considering other explanations (such as 'they didn't see me.')
I am much much better now. What other people think of me isn't any of my business unless or until they choose to tell me. Until then, I'm going to carry on doing what I do.
Hope you get some answers!

In the IT Crowd, Jen stopped being invited to meetings. Weren't they doing secret aerobics or something?

Ben is off to a wedding reception on Saturday. He's only been to one before and that was nearly 15 years ago. Even then he was kind of sneaked in as a friend of a relative. This time, though, he has an official invite.
Really? I've been to hundreds of the damn things. My advice is just to get really really drunk.
Then you can respond appropriately to any of the "will you be next" questions. Oh wait, you won't get them. Because you are a boy.
Jennie has discovered Mumsnet. It is the best thing in the whole world.
Here is a sample of a Mumsnet post:
OH HOLY GOD.
I AM SO SCARED AND PANICKY RIGHT NOW
I WAS JUST GOING TO GET A LATE NIGHT SNACK FROM THE KITCHEN WHEN THIS BEAST OF A MOUSE DARTED PAST ME AND SPED INTO MY LIVING ROOM.........
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF A RAT BITING MY BUM WHILE I'M ON THE LOO.
WILL IT COME INTO MY BEDROOM WHILE I SLEEP?
OH MY GOD
SHOULD I CALL PEST CONTROL????
NEVER SEEN A MOUSE IN REAL LIFE BEFORE NOW. NEVER SEEN A MOUSE IN THIS HOUSE BEFORE. DOES THIS MEAN I AM SLATTERNLY?
CAN'T CALL DP AS HE WOULD THINK I AM MAD.

My main aim is to raid the buffet.
