I have had the pleasure of another rubber chicken dinner - you know the big dinners at hotels where the food is always the same bland chicken, you know no one at your table, and you must make small talk extend for the entire 2 hour event. Most of these events I attend are usually in a professional or business setting. It still baffles me that very successful business folks can still not know which fork is for the salad or which glass at a place setting is theirs. It is not that knowing this information is a definition of whether a person is nice or even a good businessman. It is whether someone cares enough to figure it out so that everyone at the table can feel comfortable and confident in knowing what to do in these weird rubber chicken dinner parties in the first place.... It's worth learning just a few things about the big table settings, lest you drink out of your boss's wine glass at your next business dinner.
