Avoiding work's Christmas dinner?
Ugh, there's only 3 of us in the office. I'm the only employee. I soooooo do not want to drag my husband to a Christmas dinner for our office and make him sit through the awkwardness that already exists just within our office each day for so many reasons, I can't count.
I'm guessing there's no graceful way to back out of this. Any ideas? I'm dreading this!
Re: Avoiding work's Christmas dinner?
Yes, I thought of that, but, with only 3 of us here, they want to schedule the dinner somewhat around my schedule...somewhat. Nevertheless, I think I'm more just whining than anything (always lovely, I know) because I don't honestly think I can get out of it. It would be this long list of, "Well I can't do it this night because of this or this night because of this," so on and so forth. It would look super shady, I'm sure.
Sorry...think I just needed to vent.
That sounds painfully awkward. I'd definitely be taking the "Oh gosh, DH already promised us for the xxx with his family who will be in town - sorry to miss the get together this year - hope it's a great night!" route....and DH would fully support my use of him as the fall guy if he kept him from having to go lol
Good Luck - hope you think of something!
Ohhhhh.....yeah that's a sticky situation. I feel for you!
I think you have to go... :-/
Ditto. Could you at least pick a night where you could cut the evening short? Say during the week or tell them you have something uber important the next morning very early.
Sorry you have to deal with the awkward situation. I'm sure they think they are doing you a favor. I am secretly excited that our company isn't doing a Christmas party this year. I rather get a bonus.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
The 'having something to do the next morning' sounds like a reasonable suggestion
Perhaps DH and I can suggest.
I wish the lunch possibility could work, but then each of our husbands couldn't join us which is the whole reason they like to do this dinner. They like for all 6 of us to get together. Throw in the 'leave early' and I'm sure to be thrown to wolves. On any other day when I ask to leave 30 minutes early (after coming in 30 minutes early), you'd think I need an act of congress with my request.
