There was a work event in another (nearby) country today. For some bonkers reasons (I am quite new to the company) I agreed to go and flew over this morning. I spent the afternoon in an update meeting and then doing a team building activity. This evening there are drinks and food nearby.
Everyone I know is not here - they have all found reasons not to attend. Except my boss.
I went to the meeting. I took part in the activity and popped into the bar for drinks but honestly was just stood around like a lemon. I had a quick drink and legged it and am now holed up in my hotel. The drinks started an hour ago.
Only problem is, my boss has just dropped me a text to ask where I am.
I replied to say I had scarpered early and gave a vague excuse.
This'll count against me, won't it?
I should have just not bothered coming - attendance wasn't compulsory.
I just hate these things
