So I recently got a new job as an aide for directors and program managers. People with authority really scare me but I've tried really hard to be personable and make small talk/pull off jokes. Well my boss today asked me to come to a picnic with the rest of the directors today. It's a barbeque and people will be playing volleyball. My boss said she wants me to "network" and I hate networking. I can't stop thinking about it. The other aid I work with is around my age and we've become good friends. She might go too but she's just so talkative, fun, and preppy so she would have no trouble going off and finding other friends.
Any of you guys attend stupid work parties or anything? You have any tips for me? I'm freaking the hell out! I'm thinking about backing out but it'll make me look bad.
