Ours is usually pretty fun! It's after school at a lodge in town (with a bar), the day before the 1/2 day... (Dec. 21st)

We have an awesome dinner, and "light entertainment" and a gift exchange.

If you've ever worked in a high school the week before Holiday Break, you'll understand why the teachers need to let their hair down.

Thank goodness it was just an evening event! I borrowed the sweater vest and flannel from my mom. After I explained what I was borrowing it for, she was like "gee, thanks confused "

lol

You look like you should be handling some Schwetty Balls.

Our holiday party will be held this Thursday during company hours. It will be at our local art museum and catered by some hoity toity "food art movement" restaurant to be followed by cookies. I really hope I don't have to brown bag it because I'm still hungry after the 2 bites they serve me on my plate. lol But whatever it is, I'm sure it will be delicious and I appreciate them having a party at all since we're going out of business.

And the best part...we get to go home afterwards instead of going back to work. woot!

Lucky you. My job's holiday party will be during work hours as well, but we have to go back to work afterwards. mad Know what the best part is? We can't call it a "holiday" party or anything that has to do with Christmas because they don't want to offend others who have different religious beliefs. They are calling it a "mix and mingle event". No alcohol but heavy appetizers and boring people. Urgh.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

We haven't had an office Christmas party since 2003. The best we're going to manage is an office potluck (YUCK!), which I stay totally away from.

I find that staff meetings are most productive when I rule with an iron fist.

You certainly don't want to be the office slut, drunk, and slacker. I wonder, have you ever won employee of the month? hmmm

We haven't had are party yet. But it is an adult only party (No kids allowed-not Porn adult Johnart!). We have bar (but you have to pay), we are served food and everyone gets a gift (usually gift certificates to various restaurants and about 10 people get really expensive gifts like laptops, xbox, flat screen tvs.) You draw your name and it's the luck of the draw that determines what you get.

We used to have a decent one every year for years but all the fun people are gone now. If they throw one this year, I won't be going. I have no desire to be around wolves in sheep's clothing. Now, the custodial staff has their own down at their division and from what I hear, it's always a big deal and they really know how to do it up right. Plus, they don't have the phoniness that always goes on at ours. I've been invited to theirs in the past but always decline. They don't make much money and they go all out with their party and sometimes invite office workers and I've seen some of those freeloading heffers who rarely speak to them, go down there, load their plates full of food, and leave. I wouldn't want them to think I was one of those type of people.
