Winning friends

Have you heard of 'Baby Brain'? I know it exists. I've seen it.

In an attempt to make friends with some girls for work (it sucks only knowing work related things about people) i decided to invite everyone to a quiz. So after 3 enthusiastic emails i managed to get a team together of 4 other girls from work, none of whom i know that well but was optimistic that wining a quiz would be a good way to break the ice. So we all met up in the cornershop well out of office hours, to buy our own alcohol and snacks (BYO) after having travelled in to town. We are in high spirits and wander into the quiz room already chatting and smiling. But it was eerily quiet, and the security guards were looking at us weird.

Of course, we're here for the quiz we jollily explain continuing on our path. Well, they all look at each other and actually laugh. 'The quiz is on next week'. But i am the most organised person in the world, i know this isn't true, its on today, stop kidding us. But why is it so quiet here?

Yes. The quiz is on next week. The shame. We all went out for a drink instead, but it wasn't the same and i think that was it, i think i blew my chance at getting to talk to any of them anymore than about joint clients and work situations, well except for joking about the non-existent quiz!
