Happy Hour?

In an effort to celebrate a huge accomplishment in my group, I organized a happy hour.  I invited my whole group.  Thankfully I scheduled it the same night as Hubby’s bi-weekly happy hour, so I wouldn’t have to sit alone waiting for people to show up, because only three people showed.  I had mentally decided that I wouldn’t be doing that again.  That was two weeks ago.
My boss found out about Hubby’s happy hour and got all excited.  He informed my group that I would be setting up a happy hour for all of them to attend.  Putting my better judgment aside, I asset up the happy hour and sent out the invite.  I also sent a reminder. 
Only my boss showed up. 
I don’t work with drinkers. We have a couple here and there, but mostly I work with very sober people with families that want to go home at night.  I don’t blame them, if I had kids I’d want to be home with them too.  I’m not sure how long I will have to keep the happy hour going before I am allowed to give up. 
Of course, this does allow me to spend more time with my husband and his co-workers since they are very good about showing up!
