Do you go them?
I started this job 6 months ago. I'm the only developer and the only time I talk to other people is when I'm working on a project for them. To make matters worse, I'm single; so I would be going stag.
I don't want to be rude and say no, but at the same time; it seems like it would be extremely akward if I did. So I'm up in the air about the whole thing.
make a friend before you go.....
Or build one :afrog:
...out of the shredded remains of your enemies as they slowly congeal at the bottom of your castle moat.Quote:

:D
So I should go to the company's christmas party only if I'm pissed off about holding my shares. Got it. :thumb:Quote:

Nothing good usually comes from associating with people that you don't like in the first place!

I'm done for the night though, later all.
1) Bring a large bag, or a bunch of re-sealable containers.
2) Take ALL the food you can get your hands on.
3) Leave.
4) Don't bother with shopping until all the food has been eaten.
This also works for wedding receptions, especially if you don't know anybody there.
