Hnngg.... why is peopling around coworkers so exhausting?
I vaguely regret attending work paid dinner (had some tasty fish tacos), specially since I had a semi-valid excuse to avoid it (had some dental work done today). I get along well and like my team mates and a few other coworkers... but dinner with literally ever single manager in our organization was mentally exhausting.
I was one of two people not in an official leadership role at the dinner but my director invited me... so eh...
