It seems like an easy team on which to be the star.

The REALLY weird part was “Teen Wolf stars in Civil War reenactment play.”

The last party I was there for (before they laid me off), was at a hotel and some of the workers in the assembly department rented out a room and kept going back and forth. We later found out why. They brought their own alcohol (even though there was already a bar) and they proceeded to get sloshed till one of the fine young men started to play air guitar on the dance floor all by himself…..It was quite a sight.
Oh, and for the record, do not put “Baby got Back” on your company Holiday play list….It will clear the dance floor and only leave the drunk people up there…..

LOL, my company does not condone holiday gatherings of any kind as it is not in the budget and also may offend someone who does not celebrate said holiday. BLECK. Instead the branch manager allows us to have an end of year potluck in the conference room, yep for our usual one hour lunchbreak. Guess it is better than no party at all though.

After the party ended at 11pm we invaded the Recovery Grill until they closed at 2am.

My girlfriend’s christmas party was Friday night; she’s a teacher. It was open bar from 3:30 – 8pm. Needless to say, teachers who had PITA kids all week + open bar = sh*t show.

And your last line is an excellent proverb, along with my favorite, “Be wary of girls whose only friends are guys.”

I’ve been to office holiday parties (always at a bar) that were the cause of many divorces. Apparently what happens at the office party should stay at the office party, but ended up not doing so.

Neither was the underage date I brought. She proceeded to get slopy, annoyingly drunk at one of my bosses houses. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. We then went to the movies, I couldn’t bring her home in a shopping cart like Aminal house. She barfed on the floor at the movies. How romantic. Our “relationship” was short lived. Went stag to the next Christmas party, much to my co-workers joy.

I avoid all parties at all costs.
