Speaking of which I asked Steve if he wanted to go with me to the Xmas Party at work and he said he would have to think about it Its cool either way cause I don't like going either. All we do is have a cocktail hour then a buffet style dinner at the Hilton Hotel. They talk about how the business is going.. give us a company gift and raffle off two tickets anywhere in the United States..BORING! lOL

Year before last, our company holiday party took place at 3 connected buildings downtown. The theme was "Passport to Adventure" and spread out were various stations with food, cultural displays, & music to represent some of the countries we do business in. Then downstairs was this big casino setup. We got unlimited chips to play all the casino games. I liked it because I got to play roulette & craps for the first time without losing any money. There were also several stations with different backgrounds where people could take pictures. That party was fantastic.

Then last year we had budget cuts, so the party was in one hotel with the theme "Tropical Paradise." It was NOT. The atmosphere more reminded us of "Retirement Home in Miami." I was like, how do you go from last year to this year??

This year, it looks like it'll be better than the tropical one, but not as good as the casino/passport one.

The first sounded like so much fun, if we did that I would definitely go!

ME!!

I got this stupid job about 3 years ago when someone got a promotion. I get to "organize" monthly meeting lunches and then one big bash at Christmas....company-wide. I get to organize other lunches for other meetings at people's whims too. I should really try to suck at it so they give it to someone else.

It sounded kind of fun at first. Like a mini caterer. Then, it hits you.....one person is vegetarian.....one eats nothing but meat.....and everyone else likes to complain about something. One day I actually said at the monthly luncheon if anyone can do better, feel free to take this part of my job over. That was 2 years ago. I'm still doing it. Sigh.

Of course no one wants to take over....they'd rather complain! I used to be an 'organizer' type but it just got too exhausting.

Afternoon Yardies!

@MsTee

Ok well I looked on line and they said that we should do

Treasure Hunt

Musical Chairs

Home Tour

New Town Trivia

Round the World Dining

WTH Musical chairs with a 95 year old lady lol No thank you

U ever play spoons? My gradma used to love spoons.

Or rob your neighbor with little silly wrapped gifts. Grandmas love that shyt.

Man I love Spoons and I'm good at it too I can take my spoon and keep playing before anyone notices I took it already.... I'm not sure if you want to play Treasure Hunt. The last thing you need is someone finding something in your house that wasnt meant for everyone too see...

[*JG* 2]

I get to organize the adopt-a-family Christmas drive too. Same thing.....everyone says oh, yeah, I'm in. Then, I end up hunting them all down and running around the night before cause all they can seem to really come up with is some money.

It sucks to be organized when no one else is.

I know that's right JG... Have a great time.

Our Christmas party was at a swanky country club in Silver Spring, MD. They had an ok DJ and good food and since there is a lot of youngish(lol) ppl at my job the music was up to date. I was miss dancing queen as usual. Im the only west Indian person at work so I was showing off some of my skills. Lol. I can dance all night long if you let me. I also won a gift cert. to Best Buy. I took my girlfriend with me but this year I get to take my Honey with me(fingers crossed).

Can't wait to learn some moves. LMAO

Oh, quit crying. Ours is in the same tired lunchroom we have every other meal in with the same damn people. At least there is alcohol to soften the "social" time. Worst part is I am in charge of food so I usually end up cooking my #### off the day before, using crock pots and the stove all that morning, and having to at the very least organize some sort of clean up effort. It's exhausting.

Well ya'll still have better than mine - my boss is jewish so there is NO party!!

One of the greatest card games we play is called Phase 10. Everyone I teach it to ends up beating the ####### out of whoever else is playing. The best part about it is folks usually get stuck on a phase and gets mad when everyone starts passing them. When the teens play they end up wanting to quit lol
