good luck!

how it was.

says It went OK. I usually end up feeling a bit disconnected during such events because I don't know very many people and I don't want to bother the ones I do know. So I often end up standing or sitting by myself.

says (part of the problem is that I'm significantly older than most of my coworkers, so I assume it's like hanging out with their parents.)

say but I did wander off early. It was a relief to get back to the hotel room; there's was a small part of me that felt like I could breathe again.

familiar with some of that. Sometimes at the social event of a meeting, I would wander around the room a couple of times with my free drink, not find anyone I was friendly with, and wander off!
