Next Sunday is our big work bowling party. We were number 1 in the territory with selling warranties so the company threw down $300 bucks for us to spend as a store. All of us except our boss voted for paintball. He, being him, decided that would be not good, so opted for bowling. So next sunday, everyone from work is meeting at the bowling ally to compete in two-person teams. The winner gets a tiny trophy. The clincher is that Phil made the teams, so of course I'm on Biff's team. This should be interesting.
I haven't decided whether or not I'm going. I should go, because otherwise I'll get crap for not being a team player, blah blah blah. Plus, it's bowling, which I happen to love on occaision. However, Phil says he's going to try and outlaw the adults from drinking. Which, okay, there's going to be minors there, and it's technically work sponsored, so I get it. But here's the thing: I don't like these people. I get along with (most of) them at work because it's work. I don't really want to socialize with them outside of work, and to do so, I'm going to need at least a little lubrication. Also, I'm an adult, and outside of work, he's not the boss of me. Five spoiled whiney kids and 7 adults I have nothing in common with, playing on a team with a guy I'd rather bale than bowl with...and no drinkie at all? So my options are: suck it up and go and possibly ruin my evening off, OR not go and hear about it forever. There's also a third more wacky option of me going and sneaking to the bar in between frames. Bah. I'll probably just wind up sucking it up and going. Who knows, maybe it'll actually be fun. /sarcasm.
