See below. Although you always feel a bit bad about really piling your plate up at a funeral imo. It looks bad.
I have a press colleague whose buffet technique is so good that he's able to manage three proper platefuls, two drinks AND a dessert after a press conference and still be out the door within half an hour. It's like watching an artist at work.
I think the thing that would bother me in this lady's situation is seeing a party planned that I wasn't going to be able to attend.
'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before'
'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'
'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'
