They want to talk about science or work gossip, so I’m left alone.
Because you have been rudely and unfairly made to feel unwanted, Miss Manners is going to let you in on a secret: Far from being superfluous, you are the only indispensable person in the room at these events.
You are not elbowing your way onstage at a lecture on quantum chromodynamics. You are at a social event after the lecture — an event that was scheduled because, after last year’s conference, someone took a survey and the scientists all agreed that the conference would be improved by less shop talk and more socializing. Except that, when dropped into a hotel ballroom with an open bar , none of those same scientists could think of anything else to talk about.
If you are charming and interesting — and have almost anything to talk about that is not science — you will win converts. And if it bolsters your confidence, imagine these same scientists back in high school .
I don’t want to appear greedy, but by depositing the check immediately , the giver can confirm that their gift arrived.But there may be another reason to delay depositing the check. There is no absolute etiquette requirement that one wait for the actual birthday to open a present. But the patience demonstrated by waiting for the event that motivated the gift is charming.
Miss Manners recommends the same treatment in your case: You can cash the check on Christmas Day. That it will be a bank holiday is irrelevant.
