Christmas Letdown
Today was my office Christmas Party.
I've never been to a "real" office Christmas Paty, or at least one that was for my own place of employment or not located at Frank Sissons.
It was not really worth it.
It was at Heritage Park, which was a cool location. Last year, they had great prizes such as Ipods, cameras, season passes....this year was gift certificates to Safeway, Home Depot ect. I didn't win anything. No surprise there...I never win.
The food was ok. The tea was hot. I had good converstions with dear friends and it was fun to see whose spouse went with with employee. I figured they should have played "match the spouse". I'd have kicked ass!
But other than that, it was not really all that exciting. I was home by 9.

That's cause there wasn't any drinking!
You won when your party was at Frank Sissons! $60 I think it was.
I was reading somewhere that Office Christmas Parties aren't suppose to be fun. They are strictly for networking purposes. (the article may have been saying that to deter people for over-indulging in alcohol)
That sucks that your party was a let down. But really, what could top my party last year and all the things you saw there. I don't think I'll soon forget the lady on the floor!
I don't think anyone really likes to go to the office Christmas party unless you're really into drinking because really, other than that no one knows how to plan it. I have memories of mine last year and they all involve people who were drinking. But you go to be a good sport and show you're not a snob.
