"Getting Paid"

I'm not sure on this one. I'm such a nice guy a lot of times I just hang out smiling waiting to get paid.

There are short cuts, "Well, it's time to go" or "I hope everyone had a great time" But there are those that don't get the hint. I'm always torn how do I get out of here and still be nice. I end up staying a long time sometimes with parents running around cutting cake, giving out goodie bags.

I am not comfortable with prepayment. For company events, that's fine, it just feels a bit odd for a private home. I don't know, maybe I'm a bit warped on money but I want everything to go really well, have a big smile on everyone's face, get my check and go to the next event.

I'll figure this one out one day!
