Friday night we went to my comapany Christmas party. Of course that is the day that it snowed 15", so it took me 2 hours to get home, then I had to shovel off the deck and to the dog pen (almost 2 hours of shovelling), feed the dogs, cats and birds, throw the dogs back out in the pen, pack an overnight bag (we stayed at the hotel), and leave.
I should have saved myself the trouble. I usually don't go to these types of things because I am very inept socially. I don't know anyone that I work with very well, and I hate being in crowds. When we got there, I could tell right away that we were dressed wrong, Everyone was dressed to the nines - we were dressed in jeans and nice shirts. As usual, no one bothered to tell me anything - in this case that it was an almost formal affair. We don't own clothes nice enough to go to something like that, and if I had known, I wouldn't have even entertained the idea of going to the party.
as I mentioned, I am very inept socially, and dislike large groups, so by the time dinner came around I was ready to leave (and feeling horrible for dragging WS with me for this sad situation). We left, went to the hotel room and I went to bed.
Next time I think of trying something like this again, I'll just take a butcher knife and slice off a finger. I'll have just as much fun and it will keep me from committing an even larger mistake.
