avoiding work leaving party

I promised my manager i would go to to her leaving party tonight, but i'm still at home because i can't be bothered to go out in the cold rain. I can't be bothered to socialise with anyone and i really don't want to be at work when i'm not working. It's also coming up to that time of month so i'm not in the best of moods anyway.

I like people at work, but i'm not really friends with anyone because i never know if they are just bieng nice to me because they have to.

Work is something i don't enjoy doing and i only do it because i have to, i don't do it to socalise. I prefer to socalise with old school friends who have known me for a while, i HATE small talk like "hi how are you? I'm good thanks how about you?" and so forth.

When i think about all the other things i could be doing instead of working, i start to feel all low and depressed

I'd rather spend an evening with my guitar thanks

 

Once you make the promise you should keep it. Just don't agree to do things you don't want to do.
