[QUOTE="DDD, post: 514229, member: 35"] Sigh. I don't think it is going to easy for her. Even mature sober women have to walk a fine line between being too friendly and too "standoffish" when they join a new workforce. In the salon environment people talk about darn near everything private...patrons and employees. Yikes! Lunch shouldn't be a big problem, I hope. I'd guess it would be "we're going out for a drink after work would you like to join us?" Possible responses? "Thanks but my schedule is kinda crazy and I almost always have to head straight home." I thought thru "I have to study" "I'm committed to a project after work each day" etc. but I'm sure they would then respond with "oh, what are you studying? or what is your project?" Can't think of any response that would not lead to questions and, of course, she won't want to lie. Maybe (good grief, lol) "I have to help my family out afterwork". How's that for far out?? Possible they will just sit around wondering what problems her parents have and let it go????? Fingers crossed. DDD [/QUOTE]
