Question Posted Thursday September 23 2010, 11:33 pm
So at my new job I became friends with this lady. She's about 40, and I'm 18. Anyways, she invited me to her birthday party along with several of my supervisors and bosses. She really wants me to go, but I think it would be inappropriate for me to go because all the people that are going are much older, not to mention, my bosses. Especially since they would all be drinking and I wouldn't be. I know she would be disappointed if I didn't go.
So what should I do? Do I go to make her happy or do I not go?

Welcome to the adult world where age doesn't matter so much. You two are friends, it's her birthday, it would be rude not to go!
Drink non-alcoholic drinks, don't worry about what you have to say, try and get other people to talk about themselves and be the best listener the world. [ bliz's advice column | Ask bliz A Question ]
