Oh god, have to come up with a plausible way to miss the party again this year.
Having a baby? SO useful in this regard.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sophia, are you sure you're not secretly on "The Office"?
Wow! That explains a lot!

Yes. My coworkers have children and their excuses sound legitimate. Mine sounds like I could reschedule (although I can't). Once I did use a kitten as an excuse not to go.

Attacked by zombies. That's actually a situation that's a lot harder to deal with in real life than in a game.

"I would go, but I have to save the Earth from evil Lectroids from the Eighth Dimension. Do give my love to Wilhelm for me, though, would you?"
Works every time.

It might also make them never ask you to come to a party again. Bonus.

Yeah, not really a course of action I'm going to pursue...

Ha! Another whitey coworker is bringing cupcakes. I have to decide if I'm going to do it for real and bring the tourtiere (pork pie), even though we don't have an oven, or come up with something else.
Poutine!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Can I borrow that excuse for my work holiday party?
Dread. So much dread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poutine is NOT part of my heritage.

Even better, show up to the party for, like, ten minutes then scream "Get 'em! Evil, pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension! Lectroids! Get 'em!" run out of the party and steal a motorcycle.
Three days, tops, until the memo officially cancelling "holiday celebrations" circulates.
