Work holiday parties 2008[views:1690][posts:38]______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:19am - the_reverend ""] anyone else having them? I'm going to the brewery exchange at 12:30 today with my work. Last year, I went and just hung out with steveotb's roommate and john (DBD). I felt bad cause I didn't play with the rest of my group and I think one of the directors didn't like that. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:21am - arilliusbm ""] I've got mine next wednesday at some fancy hotel in boston. got invited to another company's at ruth chris' steakhouse in Boston on Thursday. should be good. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:23am - RichHorror ""] I have avoided these like the plague for my entire life. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:24am - arilliusbm ""] why? open bar = ultimate win. i could care less about hanging out with my co-workers. i don't like most of them. but open bar? awesome |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:25am - goatcatalyst ""] Always drink too much and tell the boss' wife how good she looks. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:29am - RichHorror ""] Because I like keeping my job, Aril. I have zero control when it comes to free booze. See: The sXe wedding reception I ruined a couple months ago. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:31am - arilliusbm ""] haha, sXe wedding reception ruined? that's awesome |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:33am - goatcatalyst ""] Please tell me you asked the bride's father who had the blow! |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:34am - largefreakatzero ""] Ours are fucking horrible and stressful. I truly hope we do not have one this year. Never have open bar due to legal issues -- always a chance some dirtbag will crash his/her car and try to sue (we have some real beauties here). |

See: The sXe wedding reception I ruined a couple months ago. SxE wedding reception? Sounds like it was ruined before it even started. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:37am - arilliusbm ""] My company's usually bad. Our reception is "scheduled" for 3 hours of open-bar madness; after that, one of the bosses usually brings us to some bar and pays for a tab. It's like 6 hours of open bar. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:38am - orgymf@work ""] 2 years ago we got trashed and ate chinese food. some asshole who hated everyone who worked here reported it to the higher ups.....now we are not allowed holiday parties. fuckin snitch |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:41am - goatcatalyst ""] Aril - are you hiring? Orgy - did you leave a shanta in the snitch's cubicle? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:42am - arilliusbm ""] technically, you're not supposed to go overboard on drinking at holiday events. it's supposed to make you look bad. most people do it, though. i'm lucky my company still does them. they "banned" us having shots because some snitch bitch woman complained that a co-worked was too loud after having a shot. she wasn't even drunk. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:43am - orgymf@work ""] goatcatalyst said:Aril - are you hiring? Orgy - did you leave a shanta in the snitch's cubicle? ha, we never got the chance to get back at him....but he did get his. he was caught putting roofing nails under peoples tires in the parking lot, he was fired. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:43am - arilliusbm ""] yes, goat, we are. just one position at the moment - Underwriting Assistant. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:45am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] No company party, but my boss takes the other managers and me to dinner and then gives me an envelope full of big cash money. I am looking forward to that. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:46am - goatcatalyst ""] I'll underwrite the shit out of anything right bout now. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:46am - arilliusbm ""] and you're looking for a NEW job? damn, man. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:47am - RichHorror ""] I don't even know what underwriting is, but I'll do it for 6 hours of open bar. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:52am - goatcatalyst ""] Looking for anything dude. With the economy in the shitter, I've lost like seven students in the past two months. At $20 per half hour lesson once a week that really kicked my ass. I'm marketable: handsome college graduate with exceptional people skills and I know where the clitoris is at. And you should hear me freestyle. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:53am - arilliusbm ""] I'm 100% positive that the insurance industry is the LAST industry you'd want to be in at the moment. hahaha |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 10:56am - goatcatalyst ""] I hear white slavery is rather lucrative. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 11:04am - ouchdrummer ""] i am not allowed at company gatherings outside of work... |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 11:21am - FuckIsMySignature ""] my Employee Appreciation Dinner is in January - havent gone to one with this company yet but apparently its a crazy drunk fest at a swanky hotel. lookin forward |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 11:26am - the_reverend ""] I don't think my company does open bar. not sure. getting out of work at 12:30 rules. |
| _____________________________ [Dec 3,2008 2:00pm - BSV ""] we're having ours after the holidays, minus holiday help. serious cost control going on. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 3,2008 2:51pm - the_reverend ""] had my 2 drink tickets too fast. no more drinks for me. :( |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 10:43am - arilliusbm ""] tonight is 1 of 2. open bah and fancy free food. snorting tequila tonight will be fun |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 10:48am - darkwor ""] working for the state school system and we can barely afford a pizza party this year. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 10:50am - arilliusbm ""] you're lucky, man. i actually want to leave the corporate world. corporate america is too corrupt. i'd love to work for a state school |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 10:56am - FuckIsMySignature ""] this year's theme is "Island Casino" Our president is retiring so i'm guessing something crazy is going down. Two years ago Terry Francona and Bill Belichick were in attendance and last year i guess they rented a monkey to hang out with everyone. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 10:57am - arilliusbm ""] what do you do? that sounds awesome |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i work for DCU. this is by far the best job i have ever had. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:27am - Aegathis ""] free beer and Chinese food, how could i refuse? |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:54am - the_reverend ""] pot lucking at my work. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 1:05pm - Slamcunt ""] Get laid and bandk some coworkers and never let them forget they are sluts! |
