In Reply To: Repeat: Just go. This isn't a party or a 'thank you', it's a business meeting. You should consider it mandatory. Be nice, smile, have some fun. 90% of life is just showing up.
Message: I plan on taking the next day off (I was wrong on the date -its the 16th) as I need to use one of my "floaters" which I cannot carry over to the following year as I can vacation days. Oddly I have been invited to a holiday gala by an organization I would thoroughly enjoy working for, and that is the following day Friday the 17th at a place way swankier than the one where my current employer is having thiers so thats what I plan on doing.
