Tough Talk: January 29, 2025

Tough Talk,

I work at a great office with a lot of interesting characters.  We also regularly have parties for holidays and other special events.  However, one of my co-workers really likes having games and activities. She gets into it too.   I don’t want to be unsocial, but I really hate these types of things.  What should I do TT? (Downing, Illinois)

Downs,

Maybe it’s the water supply, but you need to stop being a squid and tell your co-worker to leave you the hell alone.  If you don’t want to participate, then don’t bother and make it clear you think it’s a waste of time and a complete wackfest.  I guaranty other people feel the same way.
