so i decided that we wouldn't go to the residents BBQ. i even fabricated an excuse for myself about having too much prep work to do in the apartment for painting this weekend so i wouldn't have too feel bad about being a social retard. then at about 9.15pm the cg decided that it would in fact be nice to meet the neighbours so we grabbed some beer from the fridge and headed downstairs to the communal garden terrace. the first 30 seconds were a little awkward but then i did what i always do, i started making conversation and suddenly we were meeting people willy nilly. we stayed over an hour and then made our excuses. i've got to say that i feel a whole lot better for making the effort and for not being the social spaz that i always think i am.
i have to "go away on business" in october. i will either have to fly or take the ferry and then stay overnight in a hotel. the funny thing is that the whole purpose of this trip is so that i can have dinner with the people i see every day at work. it's the company AGM but they don't need me to help out or do any sort of work, they just want me to be there to eat with them and they are willing to pay lots of money for me to do this. it's quite bizarre.
