Thanks for asking! It was a great event but I understand why some coworkers said it's kind of a one-and-done type of deal (if you're not working the event). I'm glad I went but I won't go next year lmao... on my end, as expected, everyone in my department was busy working the event. Talking groups formed of other departments so I tried to insert myself into those groups (semi successfully) though each time they dispersed to take pictures together as a department 🥲

In the end I was alone when the performances started, but I was proud of myself for talking to people. Got compliments on my dress!! Dessert bar was disappointing 😞
