That’s ok I’ll tell you anyways.)
There are a few guys that I will have drinks with after work. Maybe 15 dudes total. We generally try to split off and go somewhere else.
Everyone else can pack sand. I could care less about making small talk with stews that are just hoping the captain picks up their tab. I find my own company more enjoyable and engaging than talking about some old lady's grandkids or figuring out what I have in common with a twenty something other than I have kids her age.
I would rather put my feet up, pour my own drink, put a show on my iPad or watch a game, and maybe call my old lady and talk about her day. It took me a few years to realize that I get zero fulfillment out of hanging out with coworkers after hours. 5 and 20.
