Took long enough. Some of us just want to come to work, work and go home to our families.
I've got a large (>100people) offsite teambuilding event all afternoon today. I don't mind if it's on work time and there's free food, but otherwise, there's almost nobody at work I would ever consider getting together with outside work. I've been here over 15 years and I can think of maybe 2-3 people I've done something social with outside work (other than retirement lunches).
Then again, my "best friend" I see IRL maybe twice/year. I guess I'm just a jerk.
