My work doesn't have much of an office but they keep the door closed from the main work area and their bathroom has actual toilet paper in it instead of one of those rolling blue towel dispensers that are good for wiping... if you're seven feet tall.

ive been working at the same place for 4 years now.

year 1: awesome party they rented out one of the nicest venues in town, brought in poker and blackjack dealers, fancy hors d'ouerves being served by wait satff, had a somewhat open bar (no liquor but all the wine/champagne/beer you wanted), raffle at the end where you could win a resort vacation or some poo poo. i didnt win but i got way too drunk (had to use the ride service home but it was also gratis), got hot in poker and made side bets for actual money with some people and make bank. haha ownt.

year 2: the rented out a space but there was no food and you got 2 drink tickets that could be used for beer only

year 3: they planned a party but you had to pay for everything and they didn't rent out the bar they just made it early and hoped there would be enough space for everyone which there wasn't. i stayed for like 10 min.

year 4: no party at all

maybe next year they'll just fire me.

Our holiday party is today where we are having a "Luncheon" with "Great Food". I don't know why those words had quotes around them on the signs. Maybe it's code for "half of you are laid off"

they had a sundowner for ours at a gay bar and the event was booked back to back with the gay bar's 'naughty party' . seeing wasps standing around with guys in leather jock straps and with ball gags was pretty good.

I usually like Christmas parties, per usual the co workers are a bunch of basic bitches but i usually pick a girl then make it my mission to bed her.

If there is dancing at the Christmas party it becomes incredibly easy to get something on the rail.

My Christmas party was pretty cool, the theme was 'born in the USA' (we are a London ad agency) and we had a mechanical bull, a lady who made us all line dance, burgers and booze. I went as a hotdog!

I need to see you wearing the hotdog outfit. Was there effort in the costume or did you wear a brown pants and jacket with a red shirt and yellow tie?

im probably not going to get drunk at my office party because I live like 10 miles away so I'll have to drive home unlike the rest of the assholes in my office who all live in Hollywood. I shold probably move out here when my lease s up but I like living in the Valley ):

Best xmas party was when I had a "real" job with a court reporting company. It was at a country club. Lawyers and judges showed up; good food, free booze. Ended up going to a dive bar with coworkers, did acid, and ran into who I believe was a close relative of Charlie Manson's (we were in his home town). He kept fixating on my date and grinding his teeth. We were advised to leave.

Worst was when I worked with a buddy who had a small catering gig at a nightclub. Some lovely call center booked us for their xmas party and ordered a bunch of appetizers. They showed up hungry and their dickhead boss announced "the buffet is now open!" They crushed tray after tray of our tiny appetizers, expecting a full meal and bitching about the few vegetarian snacks we had. Hours of frantic work in a tiny space to keep up with those ungrateful lovely cunts. gently caress this miserable holiday.

Went to some dudes house that he was selling, so it was all staged for walk throughs. A fun raffle, free booze, great BBQ and no pressure. Wasn't extravagant, wasn't huge, but was thr way these things should be.

My workplace is having a Christmas dinner at a nearby restaurant but it's during store hours and I'm one of the people scheduled to work then. I'd say I got owned but I don't think the cute Indian girl is going and that's the only reason I'd ever go so.

I went to the Christmas party in my landlord's office the day before they evicted me, and everybody there knew I was getting evicted and looked at me like a bear had broken in to the room or something, but I didn't care. I ate two 250 mg hash chocolates beforehand and was super nice to everybody and it was awkward for everyone but me, by sheer loving willpower.
