Dilemma - help!

I don't think i'm being arrogant at all.

I always go out of my way to say 'morning' to the staff and he's one of those that struggles to even reply.

:roll:

Sorry, i meant no offence.

I just think you should of at least considered popping in for a bit. And not everyone can afford the big fancy do, maybe a pub is all they can afford being young and all ;)
 
The poor guy obviously respects you enough to invite you to share in the happiest day of his life. The least you could do is give up a few hours of your life to help him celebrate! Its not a lot he's asking really is it?

I know what you're saying, but as Scoobie said, sometimes people feel obliged to offer an invite whilst at the same time, hoping you'll not go.
 
Just pop in, wish him & his bride all the best, buy a round of drinks and be on your way in time for your own evening.

It'll be good for your reputation as the boss.

Putting yourself on his level for just half an hour will probably improve your working relationship considerably too.

I wouldn't bank on it, this lad's a bit of a strange one - which he'll be the first to admit himself :lol:

OK, i give in, i'll dig out the Reebok's :roll:

Help me out of a predicament ...

One of my younger members of staff is getting hitched tomorrow and have been invited to the reception.

Only thing is i can't imagine anything worse than spending saturday evening in some working man's club with a load pissed up, load mouthed chavs.

However being his boss, i sort of feel obliged.

I need excuses quick!


take some biscuits with u.

always helps to numb the pain... that way u cant get angry with the idiots when they hurl insults at u!

u wearing a morning suit with hoodie?

I thought you actually meant a box of biccies? :roll:

:lol:

if it was me, I would show my face, and then make myself scarce, just sneak out after a couple of drinks, doesn't hurt, and shows you've made the effort, ;)

And by the time you get home, hopefully Ang will be home after working late ;)
 
I think you are definitely making the right decision by making an appearance at least. I know you don't want to do it, but cheers for sucking it up. I'll bet he is going to appreciate it.

ps. what are biccies and poppers??
 
Drew, go to the gig and take some pics on your phone - then post them on here :D :lol: 8)
 
Drew,

sometimes we do what we want to, sometimes we do what we have to. Going to this gig belongs to the group "things you've got to do".

Buy a bottle of champagne (you don't want to look cheap in front of your staff), but don't buy a too expensive one (you don't want to look arrogant in front of them). You'll be there saying that with a big smile on your face saying you wouldn't miss that for nothing in the world, but unfortunately you'll have to leave soon because your girlfriend is waiting for you to go together to the doctor (don't give any more info than that), "women's stuff, you know, but she needs me there".

Drew, it's like we say here "if the rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it".

We don't want to turn this place into 'chavsum.co.uk' :lol:

No, i'm being a little harsh, they're mostly a great bunch.

Do what i do ... if they ask it twice, this means they actually want you. This is the best way to check if something is important. BTW how did it go?
