[quote=Anonymous]I do that op, oh do I do that. It is exhausting, though.
How it looks for me. I was raised in a household where we hosted sit-down dinners and parties. I always helped with everything when I was young.
I learned that you offer to take the coat, offer drinks, tell guests to sit down, remove the plates after each course, and all that. To serve coffee after everything.
I was in charge of even our parties when we were throwing a teen party. My sister was the extroverted one, and for her party, she was going nuts, so to speak. No thought to propriety or decorum, but she knew I would do everything.
I can still do this and do it all the time. If I am hosting or attending a reception, I am the host or the best guest and follow all the protocols and rules. It is sometimes annoying to me because they know I am familiar with high-level protocol rules (I work with foreign governments frequently), and they often put me at the front for many high-profile events at work.
After this, I need two days to recover. I don't have two days so I just make it till the weekend, and then I just rest and watch Netflix.
Last time I worked a high level visit for work, it was around 2 weeks of non stop work and socializing, I did it all and I did great. Then I crashed as soon as I could.[/quote]
