Had a colleagues birthday party on Friday/last night and he's over from NY doing a year at our office. I showed up right at 7PM because I assumed in a new city he might not know many people and there were like 20 people there already including 5 friends that had flown over from NY. Over the course of the evening there were well over 100 people in the hired room!
Decent party but I have no idea how this dude knows so many people after 6 months in town. I deleted my facebook years ago because I was certain I never had more than 10 friends at any given time.
That's the American factor. They do service better, networking better, and advertising better. This guy probably "met" maybr half of them, but cause of his 'reach' has great attendance. But who disnae want tae gang tae that party!
I think it's exactly this. My Scottish brain took a while to parse it.
Lol maybe more acquaintances rather than friends? Or he's a really good pal!!
Yeah when I spoke to various folks a lot of them had only met him once before.
