Bandwagon Hypotheticals

You are away on business. Your boss to whom you do not report directly asks if you want to get a drink because he happens to be coming into town one night while you are there. It is clear that it is a casual thing, and that he might possibly already have plans so he is not sticking around waiting for you. You agree to it, and decide that you will both be in touch later that day that he gets into town.

That day, he asks you if you can still meet up. He proposes a time that is fairly early in the evening for going out. You have a dinner appointment, so you tell him that you won't be back by that time, but probably 1 - 1.5 hours later. He suggests you call him on his cell if he is not at the hotel bar.

You get back to the hotel much later than anticipated at around 10:30pm. You reluctantly do a sweep of the hotel bar for fear that he will be there with at least 11 other men talking about golf who are decently inebriated by that hour. He is not there. ... Do you call his cell?


Comments:
Nope. Say you got home even later than that. Avoid the awkwardness of (a) waking him up, or (b) finding out he's out at a distant bar with 11 drunk men talking about golf, and get forced into meeting them at location X.
 
"it's not worth it."

skip it.
