You could join the military... A work event for us is going to some foreign country to get shot at or sail around the water waiting for our ship to catch fire so we can all bust out the hoses and have a big ol' 300+degree water fight...
As for the birthday excuse... damn bud... you couldnt have thought of anything better? I mean a family members birthday happens every year.. You should know thats its right around the corner or that person isnt very important to you in the first place...
And cancelling on golf? I have cancelled on going to a MLB game, paid for the ticket, someone else used it, no biggie. Same thing with a NFL game.. But Golf.. You do not agree to golf and then cancel shortly before.. You ###### the 4 some. Period.
Also, worrying about getting fired? You clearly have not made yourself invaluble to the company and are easily replacable if it takes that to screw your career. In that case, you should be going to every damn event your company puts on and be the damn life of the party cause it sounds like you aint got much going for you..
