Mr. Lova Lova

skaorsk8 by skaorsk8 · Dec 19, 2002 · 366 views · · · Journal

They call me Mr. Boombastic...

Sorry, that song just always kept me so amused.

I got a new job...wow. I can't remember what it's like to actually do work, make appointments, etc.

But what I really wanted was some advice...or pose a question. How does everyone else get out of going out to eat/drink with all the people at work? Especially since it's holiday season and people dont' know me, I've been invited out to lunch 4 times since yesterday, and I'm told everyone goes out drinking together on Fridays. (At Friday's, ironically.) I don't want to be known as the office loser/moron/rude person, but I'd rahter not spend any more time with these people than necessary (esp. when there is alcohol and such).

So what does everyone else do?

As a gyrl I can just smile and say , oh no thats okey..


thats all I, usually do, and hope they dont procede to ask why?haha

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

i think this abuses the fact that oyu are a gryl or a gyrl or a gyro or whatever the heck you are today

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

hahahhaa, i dont even know why that was so funny. haha

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

i just tell them that i already have plans and joke about how i see enough of them everyday.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

hmm that's an interesting idea.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

it usually works because i tell them that's the only time i can be with friends and family and they are very family-oriented

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

don't you hate it when its either too hot or too cold at work? yeah that sucks.

mmm... when I worked at my last job, we used to have parties(non-holiday) on company time. it was great, drink some margaritas, eat some chicken wings, bring a beer back to your cubicle, then leave (after allowing 1 hour for each drink consumed of course).
But at my new job, they have parties after work on Thursdays. It makes it a lot easier to tell them that I honestly have something to do Thursday nights and I can't go out.

As far as going out for lunch.. I don't see a problem with that, especially at first, people are trying to get to know you and all. I'm not an extremely outgoing person, so maybe its just easier for me to limit my association. I take most of my lunches by myself now.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

whenever there's a company lunch , i go... not all the time. but i do. just go our for lunch... have a free meal. come back to work. i see no problem in that. but usually i go home during lunch and take a nap.
