Summer Picnic

Today was our company's summer picnic.  Naturally, it was the first overcast and rainy day that we've had for ages!  The picnic is not really my thing - more for families with a lot of kids type activities.  I'm also not that great in that kind of social environment - I'm not good at making small talk to people I see and greet regularly at work but who I don't really know, and who I don't really want to know.  The few real friends I've got at work didn't bother going, and I wouldn't have bothered either apart from the fact that it was held by a lake not too far from where I live.  So I popped in to grab some free food, then used it an excuse to take the rest of the day off work.  Nice.
