The Office Party

My last post "The Festive Occasion", covered the ground work for all the festivities and fun that are on their way in the coming weeks. So what shall I turn my attention on mow? Well, there is the menace of all office workers that looms at this time of year and that's the office party!

What a time for people to make asses of themselves and then come into the work the following day feeling sheepish and embarrassed because of what they got up to and with whom at said shindig!

We've all been there, those of us who have had teh dubious pleasure of working in an office, that is! Well, after all what better time to stand any chance of snogging the office secretary and (almost) getting away with it with the excuse that you were under the influence of alcohol and the party mood and it "just happened".

Of course it can go further than that and I've seen some pretty tawdry goings on in my time.

Better is all the free flowing booze, buffet food and music that gets everyone from the filing clerk to the boss in the party mood and ready for a good time. Copious amounts of dancing, drinking and eating will inevitably lead to a sore head and even sorer stomach the next day, but at the time, who cares?

So get your glad rags on, load up with some nice gifts and head on down to the office party and make an absolute ass of yourself because its probably the only tine you'll be able to do that and still be able to smile the next day. Just don't insult the boss or drunkenly tell him what you think of the company, or you could find the new year looking for a new job!
