Turning down a wedding invitation?
Have you ever done this when invited by a coworker? Here's the thing... there are a total of 14 employees and only about half of us are in the DC office. If I don't go, it's going to be noticed. Well, I'm also the only Black person, so it'll really be noticed if I don't go. I don't want to go cuz I don't really like her all like that and I feel like I shouldn't be there for something so important if on the inside I'm all conflicted and can't offer true feelings of happiness and congratulations.
This is a perfect segue to the shower. We are throwing her a surprise shower here at work. I don't even wanna participate in that, either. This reminds me of that thread Bamboozled started, but after I read thru it, I realized it was different, so I started another thread.
What y'all think?
