@LaurasBerkshire Thx Laura!🤣
@00pi @Priestess Thx Matt! Unfortunately it's a necessary evil of office culture.
@00pi @Priestess I wish i could. If it was a large group, that would be doable. It's 7 other ppl so my absence would be construed as a slight. There's no escape hatch lol.
@Priestess It's not expressed, but implied attendance. Still, i resent having to give more of my precious time to anyone or anything i don't wish to. I have no idea if others feel this way, but i definitely do.
@ITKV TYSM! Been there over a decade & it hasn't gotten easier lol.
@kellykba Ur so lucky! My work requires me to be there & since summer of 2020, everyone in my office is back. I've been at this job almost 11 years & it's REALLY annoying having to pretend i enjoy socializing with them. They're coworkers, not friends.
