As an asidie, I walked over to my co-workers' offices after I had finished my service and they were busy with customers, so maybe they were busy when I had my service. I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
That was a moving post, Ila. And to give them the benefit of the doubt is nice as well, as thinking otherwise could just give you un-needed irritation. You performed the service, and perhaps knowing that you went through with it and what it stood for, they will choose to attend next year's service. Optimism is a good thing to have.
