Antisocial

What a waste of time and money. Half the people, at least, who were supposed to be going didn't turn up, including the only one of my colleagues who I genuinely would like to socialise with, the pub, which I'd been past numerous times, but had never patronised before, wasn't 'my scene', and was expensive, to boot. At least I didn't out myself, largely because I started on the periphery, and then moved even further away from whatever centre there was to the evening, mostly my fault, of course, because I didn't make any more effort to engage with those there than they made to engage with me. It's pretty hard to out yourself when no-one's talking to you, needless to say. There is a 'Christmas do' during my forthcoming time off, with what will probably be a rather different group of people, but whether I'll go is pretty doubtful at the moment. Not, on the whole, the best night out of my life.

Love & best wishes to all
