Would you go?
My former job has a fundraiser ever November (it's 11/4 this year). When I left, I had every intention of me and H going, enjoying some apps, drinking lots of wine/beer, supporting the cause, and loving me not having to work my asss off at it (I did a lot for this event in all the years I was there). I told the Events Manager to not forget to send me an invitation.
As I'm sure I've mentioned here, H didn't receive any financial aid or loans for this semester of school so we're paying OOP (UGH), so all "extras" in our budget were cut until he's done. I received an email from the Events Manager last week as a friendly reminder that we hadn't bought our tickets yet. I emailed back right away saying we were planning on going but had some unexpected expenses that will prohibit us from attending. I said we were sorry and had been so looking forward to it and that hopefully we would be able to attend next year.
Fast forward to today: she just sent me an email saying if I wanted to come down and "volunteer" (her quotes, not mine) on Friday, no one would mind at all. "You can hang out with us, help check in some folks/sell some raffle tickets and have hors d?oeuvres".
Would you go? 1/2 of me thinks it would be fun (and free) and nice to put on a fancy dress and catch up with everyone - the other 1/2 wants to spend Friday night on the couch with H.
Sorry this was so long. I'm a rambler.

It's an hors d'oeuvres reception, so they're not denying me dinner or anything...and I will absolutely not go if I can't drink (I'm such an alky; it's ok, I accept it)....but yeah, I don't know.

I'm only comparing this to my own situation...
If it was me last year, and my old school (now current school) asked me to chaperone the prom...I would have in a heart beat. I would have loved to have a chance to hang out with everyone again and have a great time.
However, I was also laid off, I didn't leave by choice, so I'm not sure if I'd go.
I guess it depends on how close you are to them, and how much you see them now.
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to go - because I DO miss all those people and it will be nice to hang out. H is jazzed that he doesn't have to go, hahaha! I won't be working as hard as I would while still being employed by them...and I'll be able to have some booze. Win/win! Plus, BIL still works there so I'd be supporting him, too. Plus PLUS my current org and former org have a new partnership, so it'll look good if I go. Plus plus PLUS...I kind of want everyone to see how happy I am now! :P
Thanks for your thoughts, everyone!
