I need a great excuse to get out of my company's Christmas party. It is near Smith Mountain Lake which is a four hour drive for me. My company would pay for my hotel but it's basically just dinner and drinks. I always fish on Saturday and if I went would only be able to fish until around noon which for me is reason enough not to go. I feel pressure by the boss to attend. I went two years ago but skipped last year. I just can't get excited about driving that far on Saturday, ruining my day, and then returning Sunday morning. Would you do it? Got any great bullet proof excuses?
