AIBU to expect a message about this social event tomorrow?

I am more than happy to be told IABU about this.

I left my work around 2 weeks ago bit for a number of reasons my leaving lunch is being held tomorrow. I had to pop into the office about 10 days ago and was told the arrangements - where and when.

I sort of thought someone in the office might have sent me a ‘see you tomorrow’ sort of message but i have heard nothing. I am part of a group chat where messages like this are routinely sent so it would be easy to do.

The reason i think IA maybe BU is because i could send a message saying ‘all okay for tomorrow?” but the job i left is one where it is possible everyone is having a hideously stressy , busy Friday and are all stuck doing jobs and just haven’t had time to even think about tomorrow. If i send a message i feel i am rubbing their noses in the fact i am having a relaxed unstressed Friday.

Do i send a message? Should i expect a message? Do i just turn up at the arranged place tomorrow and hope people are there?

Absolutely message them!

"Everyone still on for tomorrow? Looking forward to seeing you"

You are really really overthinking here. Just a quick message as Boobs said and stop worrying

Yes definitely message. It won't come across badly even if they're busy.

PamBagnallsGotACollage · 20/05/2016 19:01

As PP said. Quick message to check all is on still.

I would totally over think like you are though Grin

Just message them and stop the angst.

blueskyinmarch · 20/05/2016 19:03

Okay, thanks. Message sent!

Totally overthinking things. Just say casually "we still on for tomorrow?". Nobody will think you're laying on your bed eating grapes, they'll just think you're being a normal person that confirms plans.

They would probably have messaged after work tonight. Hope you have a lovely meal.

I have had a message back. All is fine. 8 people are coming along for lunch with more joining us for drinks later. It is only a small team of about 13 and i knew already that a number of the team have prior engagements. I am very relieved.
