sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in the room that isn't taking any of it seriously at all in those types of settings. While the powers at be talk shop and enjoy sounding important Im generally laughing at them or day dreaming about something else. I simply don't care. I had a family member visiting recently who also was taking his job (while he was on vacation) entirely too seriously work work work while he was suppost to be off. I thought again I guess my mom was right I truly do want to be peter pan.
The point is sometimes it helps to not take things so seriously. Don't make an issue out of something isn't. If they want to drink good for them have some sympathy for them? Laugh at there actions? Chuckle to yourself that you will wake up the following morning feeling great. Or try not to notice it at all. and when the time is right look at your watch and explain you have a wtvr in the morning and need to go turn in or what not.
