I‘m not used to attending parties where copious amounts of alcohol are served, not even while in college. They frown on that in the Southern Baptist college I received my business degree from. Yet here I was, at the company Christmas party, feeling woefully out of place. While everyone else imbibed heavily with various alcoholic beverages, dancing uninhibited; I stood awkwardly in a corner, nursing a red Dixie cup half full of too sweet, lukewarm apple cider. Dale, my supervisor, encouraged me to attend. He’s always telling me I need to loosen up, so, I took his advice. Normally, I would be home curled up with a book or attending a church service. I hoped I had put in enough of an appearance and decided to call it a night.
