Do I Need To Hang Out With My Boss?

Dear CC: I was invited to my boss's kid's wedding. Do I really have to go?

CC understands-you're dying to pull the "I'd love to, but my great-aunt is getting her tummy tucked that weekend" trick. But if your boss thinks it's important enough to invite you, it's important enough for you to go. That said, no need to spring for the sterling-silver carving set on the registry; the cheese spreader should be sufficient. And make sure your date doesn't down too much champagne, then grind either you or Mrs. Boss on the dance floor or mention that little suspended sentence/community service deal.

Call me "CC," Cubicle Coach. I have been "you" and now I can hire "you." I have many years of experience playing the angles, doing the dance. In my time, I've seen 'em all - the strivers, the poseurs, the weasels, the Eeyores, and the precious few who "just get it." I'll tell it to you straight.
