My husband's damn Christmas party is tonight! How I look so forward to it!

[Shell Beau]

:eyes:


Don't you just love those parties where you have to mingle with people you don't know or care to know? Am I just being a scrooge? :shrug:

[_testify_]

1. Just hope for free food.

That's what I do.

[Marrah_G]

2. I love going to mine and so does my guy

Of course, maybe it's because I get to plan it.

We all go to the Mohegan Sun Casino- Have a very spiffy dinner- give out bonuses- exchange bottles of wine and liqueur- go gamble away the bonuses- and then stay over night in the Casino Hotel. !

Yes- I have the coolest boss ever.

[Shell Beau]

3. Yeah that sounds fun! This one will not be!

We will eat and run! Whew!

[Marrah_G]

8. I have other work related holidays parties that we do that with

Pop in, say our hellos and sneak off asap !

[Beer Snob-50]

16. you guys hiring!!!

lol.....our is tonight. my wife and i will go and then leave after the owners give themselves platitudes for how "nice" they are to us. in reality thier bennies suck and to the general workers out in the field they are downright cheap (mercifully i am administration so i am treated a little better)

[Marrah_G]

18. Unfortunately no !

But if that changes I'll let you know. It's a small place, my boss is the owner. I made a decision to never work for a big corporation ever again. It was a good decision, actually a great decision. Maybe I could get paid more somewhere else, but the compromise is totally worth it.

23. Now that sounds like a great party!! n/t

4. We go for the food

and take off as soon as possible afterwards.

[Shell Beau]

6. Exactly what we will do! I am pissed at them anyway!

His work check bounced. WTF? They didn't put enough money in the payroll account! Luckily we were okay moneywise but others at his work wouldn't have been! People count on their damn money they earn! I am so pissed that they let that happen. So I really am not looking forward to going because I might go off!!

[GirlinContempt]

5. I like parties where I don't know people.

You never know who you'll meet, what kind of conversations you'll end up having. I met a good friend of mine at a similar type of party.

[Shell Beau]

7. I am just not that kind of person! I wish I were. I sometimes come

across as snobby because I can be stand-off-ish! One of my downfalls.

9. My advice is get REALLY drunk.

Hell--it isn't YOUR job--get as drunk as you want to and tell his boss to get stuffed! It isn't like you are gonna get fired!


:evilgrin:

10. Great advice!!

:7

[AllegroRondo]

11. and hit on the secretary?

[davsand]

12. Why stop there?

Dance on the tables, rip your clothes off, THEN hit on the Secretary AND the boss! It is the holiday party and nobody will care or ever hold it against you!

13. and invite the boss's wife for a threesome in the stock room

[Shell Beau]

14. Yep! Works every time!!

[IzaSparrow]

22. I second...

it will lubricate your converstation skills. You might make some new friends--especially if you bring a flask and offer them some :toast:.

[Sequoia]

15. I don't even like going to my own company party.

For some reason I get shy and quite and let others do the talking.

[GalleryGod]

21. Seems to be a lot of that around here...

every year....
Christmas Parties...
High School Reunions...
Relatives for the Holidays...

Consider every yearly event a "bonus", Folks!

:party:

17. we went to mine last night, hubby was a trooper

he ate the yummy food, stayed 30 minutes then boogied on out of there

I stuck around and partied :evilgrin:

[GalleryGod]

19. Probably. I shared a luxury box at the Flyers game last night with 75 people I didn't know...

It was a challenge,but, worked out pretty well..indeed, really well!:beer:

[Turbineguy]

20. Mine starts in 45 minutes.

But I ain't goin'!

[Neoma]

24. Same thing happens at my family reunion.

[Blue Diadem]

25. No, you're not being a scrooge.

I feel your pain.
