Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
not only was I pressured this year to be sure to attend, but when I said that mac would not be coming because he won't eat any of the food where we are going (dim sum) - I was told "I don't care if he eats there or not" and then pressured to bring him to play with the big boss' child. I was so caught off guard I said ok.
That sucks! Our party is "adults only" this year, so people who do not have baby sitters can't bring their children. We are supposed to bring spouses (which I don't have).

So rude!
Our thing is in the day, and spouses etc. are invited, which I just think is so crazy. Most people here have spouses who have jobs of their own!

You have to get a spouse before the party? Man, that's a lot more trouble than just brining a potluck disk.
I'm staring at the invite to Allyson and Guest, and seriously, kill me.
I HAVE NO GUEST, OKAY? I AM A BIG LOSER WITH NO GUEST. I HAVE TO SIT THERE, BY MYSELF, AS AN ODD NUMBER, SCREWING UP YOUR SEATING ARRANGEMENTS.
see, a day event is ACTUALLY a gift to your staff. A night event on a MONDAY, nsm.
I started to work myself into a state about the seating arrangements at Thanksgiving, convinced that the only reason I was sitting next to my grandmother is because we were the only two grown-ups there without spouses/partners.

I agree. Our weekend extravaganzas just before Christmas are killing me, and I don't even have much family.

Definitely better than a kick in the face. Although last year's day event in a BAR was more of a gift, IMO.

Bring a homeless guy. Charitable and funny.

I was once at a wedding reception seated at a table that was ALL single people without dates. Which would have been handy if everyone else waan't related, and I wasn't really interested in hooking up at my friend's brother's wedding, with my friends cousins.
