I am a daytime custodian at a elementary school and this evening I’m going to meet about 12 staff ( teachers ) at a bar/restaraunt for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Up until now I have avoided these socail gatherings because teachers favourite topic is teaching. I’m thinking that the whole conversations will be about teaching I that will piss me off, so much so I will just get up and leave which will of course beg the question why. I will likely say after 2 drinks exactly why " because all you guys talk about is work "

Am I being a bitch?
You could try suggesting different topics to talk about — topics you actually care about.
Yeah the last time I tried that it quickly went back to teaching, and it was so obvious I thought
I would start up a different convo about something else.
If you feel that way then why are you bothering to go?
You could try the healthy approach, which is to ask "can we please talk about something other than work?" instead of the unhealthy approach of attempting to guilt-trip them in absentia by telling them what you don’t like after you’ve already decided to leave.
