The cool kids in the office have just invited me to go drinking with them on Wednesday evening. This is the first time this has happened in my 11.5-month tenure at Initech.
The guy who asked me has only been here a week. Clearly he’s not yet received the memo about who to invite and who to pass by.
But here's my dilemma... If I don’t go, they’ll think I’m not cool. But if I do go, they’ll KNOW I’m not cool. Of course, given that the occasion for these festivities is a massive beer fest, it's safe to say there will be lots of people. And we all know how I feel about people.
I think I'll make the effort to go, but then I'll disappear into the twighlight when nobody's looking.
You should try geophysicists. They exclude people they don't deem good enough, AND they're not even cool.
Good luck - judgmental people with English accents scare me.

What do you know! I have active Post and Preview buttons! I guess I just can't comment from google chrome or firefox?

Cat: Hooray! Victory at last!
Lisa: I work in IT. There are very few English accents. And, well, no... They're probably not ACTUALLY cool. But they're the coolest our department has to offer. And waaaaay out of my league in coolness factor.
