(email) "Hey guys, we're organising a bbq at John's house (rented). Please state if you're coming. Each person will pay about $12 for the food. I'll be collecting money later".
Hmm... This is a good chance to know my colleagues; Since I've been complaining I got no time and opportunity to do it.
(email) "Yeah sure!"
Despite sending out the first shot, the sea of emails was quiet on this matter. Is it that we cannot broadcast mails on non-work matters?
I have a bad feeling about this...
"Hey, $12 please. I'm collecting."
"Why no one reply one?"
"It's like this, you have to chase everyone."
...
"Don't you hate it when this happens?"
(email) "Hey guys, this is the confirmed list"
12 persons: 11 chinese; 1 korean. This wasn't the gathering I was hoping it'll turn out to be.
(email) "Hey guys, this is the confirmed list"
10 persons: 10 chinese; 2 coming late.
-long story short
There were no bosses, HODs nor team leads. There were no Koreans nor Filipinos. There were no spouses or married mothers. Just a bunch of singles and some attached persons who have the freedom to socialise without their other half. I'm disappointed but a gathering is a gathering. Plus the fact I hardly know these guys anyway. A step is a step, nonetheless, so I'm grateful.
