This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm self employed, which means I get to avoid the vast majority of these events. Unfortunately it also means that them inviting me is a Big Deal, and saying no isn't really an option.

One company did a quarterly outing to a brewery. Now, ignoring it's a bad idea to get drunk with coworkers (and then drive home), they only had IPAs, and I loathe IPAs. And they had "BBQ" which rivalled the mediocreest microwave leftovers.

And they claimed to love it. Either they're huge liars, or have horrible taste. But I did note only about a third of their employees were there at the time.
