Ok, JT and I are going to a party for my job this afternoon. Usually it's at our school, but this year, one of the parents who just accepted a job at our school is hosting the party. It's funded by the school's development department. Now, do I need to bring something to this sort of party? I feel uncomfortable bringing somehting to a work-related party, but I also feel uncomfortable not bringing anything. What do I do???????

Ok, so I took a major risk and did not bring anything...which was hard for me because I NEVER go empty handed, but I just got the feeling it wasn't that kind of party. Well, I am so glad I did not bring anything because NO ONE else did, it was very work-oriented, not like personal level kind of thing.
