Weddings and other corporate affairs


A colleague getting married. An important colleague. Absence not an option. So I am here waiting for my turn at the buffet table. Ultimately, this social event is really a business meeting. Before the Mass, some policies are discussed. At the cocktails, strategies are explained. So if you know what's good for you and your career, you wouldn't dare miss these functions!

I thought one is not suppose to mix business and pleasure.

in a sense, this exemplifies that 'adage'. a purely social event is really a business activity. keeping that in mind will tell you 1) not to drink too much 2) not to get too comfortable 3) to stay alert. leave the pleasure stuff to friends and family. :)
