    Default Would you drive 250 miles to go to your company's Christmas party?


    I need a great excuse to get out of my company's Christmas party. It is near Smith Mountain Lake which is a four hour drive for me. My company would pay for my hotel but it's basically just dinner and drinks. I always fish on Saturday and if I went would only be able to fish until around noon which for me is reason enough not to go. I feel pressure by the boss to attend. I went two years ago but skipped last year. I just can't get excited about driving that far on Saturday, ruining my day, and then returning Sunday morning. Would you do it? Got any great bullet proof excuses?

    I wouldn't want to go either. But, if you are getting pressure, go friday night and take the boat. Fish SML Saturday, put it on the trailer in time for the party.

    With pressure, I would go. Jobs are hard to find now, and you are not irreplaceable. LOL

    Deal with the crap Tap and go to the meeting. Carry Your boat, fish Sat. morning, stay overnight and fish some of Sunday too. Make a weekend out of it. Keep the boss happy too and keep yourself off of the replacement radar screen. Sounds like a bunch of **** to me too.CF
