My company sometimes has the evening get-togethers for colleagues to 'bond' (note the quote marks) over drinks and all those nonsense. I often say 'Pity I I can't go because I have to pick up my 2-year-old son from daycare.' I rather spend the time with my boy than fake enjoying myself while with colleagues. Anyone else here dislike such occasions too? PS: I like my job and colleagues are good, but no way am I going to spend my off-work time with them.
