mine's this saturday at tavla rossa behind crabtree.
good/free food + my drunken bosses buying me drinks = win.

but i agree that its definitely important to at least show up to these events. last year I had a great time and started a couple good friendships with people around the office i didn't used to be in contact with.

my boyfriend and i ducked out of the dining room after dinner (it was also the company's 25th anniversary celebration, so there were lots of speeches) - the booze was outside of the dining room. and from what i hear that was like the best idea ever.
though, i did end up talking to the CEO of the company while i was sitting on the floor trying to put my shoes back on - oops.

Two years ago the company I worked for did their Christmas party at Angus Barn... full open bar, order anything & everything you want. It was amazing... (too bad I was underage at the time). Wish I still worked there... the Christmas bonus was nice, too

LOL @ gunzz breaking mah internets again, like the third time this week.

Anyways, a couple years back I was dancing with our receptionist and was pretty blitzed. I lifted up her dress for some reason. Our GM was ~5 feet from her and she wasn't wearing any skivvies. He gave me daps the next day and I had no clue why, haha.

i hate mine. every year its a pain for me to go because i'm the only 20something in the office and everyone else has families and kids. so there is a big section dedicated to giving presents to the kids. no one gets really drunk, because, well, there are a bunch of kids there. and it lasts from right after work until about 9.

the food is okay but nothing to write home about.

luckily this year we're doing a christmas lunch and then get to leave for home afterward.

Got my wifes tonight. Small company, so its just at the owners house. Should be a good drinking time though.

Next Friday is my part-time jobs. That one is pretty good. Lot of GOOD alcohol usually and good food. And get some bonuses as well.

My main job is a state job, so our Christmas party is a nice catered lunch and revealing of secret santa. The food is delicious, but this is easily the most boring of the jobs parties. No bonus either, but we have been getting a gift card, so its still pretty good.

My first big job used to rent out the whole Sheraton in Greensboro for a knockdown party for the whole state. It was pretty badass. The year I left they moved it to Charlotte and took away the free hotel rooms if you signed up. Said they were losing too much money on that, but if you signed up and didn't show, then they took it out your paycheck. Instead you could catch a bus at different places and ride to Charlotte, and then ride that thing back after the party that night. UGH. Glad I left that place, as the Christmas party was one of the only things they did halfway decent. The stupid present you got was AWFUL and it only got worse as I was there.

Went to my first of 3 or 4 work Christmas parties. Pretty nice time. Drank some beers, had a nice catered dinner, and had a good time. Anybody else got any stories from this year so far?

haha, I failed at rule 7 and 10 three years ago at my company's Christmas party. I brought a hot date , ended up dirty dancing with her on the dance floor and did some break dancing at the end. Most of the other employees are the family kind and middle aged so that's definately some contrast. I still hear about that night till this day.

our official party is tonight, but i'm not going. luckily i have a good excuse, i live in atlanta, and the party is about an hour away down in peachtree city. only 3 or 4 people including myself live inside the city and from what i understand they aren't going either. but the real reason i'm not going is that i'm the only person in the whole office that is not married, and everyone's idea of engaging conversation is either:
a: how awesome god/church is
b: good deals at walmart
c: reasons obama is a terrorist
d: perpetual work talk

no thank you.

My companys party is tonight. In the past, its been open bar.
Wasnt planning to get there when it started, but friend of mine did...texted me and said they are doing drink tickets...only 2. Im guessing the rest you pay for. I failed to RSVP to this thing, so I probably wouldnt even get the 2 tickets. Dont think Im going to bother now, as I think the open bar was the only reason I was interested in the first place.

we had ours Dec 5th. I asked my girl to marry me that night before the party

I have enjoyed ours the last 2 years. 1500-2000 people come so they rent out all the ball rooms and floor space in a hyatt regency in downtown and have different themed food areas. japanese, italian, chinese, spanish with a pretty big bar and some entertainment. Its nice, I was surprised they went all out again this year, but I'm glad they did because it ended up being a great night for me and the girl
