Okay, so I'm going to be going to a really fancy affair that my boss is holding, and I read some Etiquette & Manners books, but any last-minute tips?

First of all, when you're sitting in a chair or just sitting at all, cross your legs at the ankles and gently put one hand on top of the other (or lightly folded together) on your lap. Next, NEVER reach across someone at the table. Pass condiments & side dishes to the left. (And if the passing's over & you need something, say "May I please use the salt & pepper?") Finally, always look the person you're speaking to STRAIGHT in the eye and walk with your shoulders back & your head held high. Look confident, people LIKE confident people. Best of luck & most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! :D [ __STACEESxoCOLUMN__'s advice column | Ask __STACEESxoCOLUMN__ A Question ]
