I WISH we would do a potluck, but alas, no. All I want is for it to be during work hours, because all I really want is time off. No, that's not right - what I really want is a gift card for the amount I know we were budgetted per person.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
They have potlucked here in the past. As the New Party Planner, I have kiboshed this for a served lunch at the local Irish Pub with a pub quiz.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The puppies are so rambunctious! They're like, dogs, instead of little sleeping bundles of fur.
My dog is a sleeping bundle of fur right at my feet under my desk. Not so little, though.

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

It would have to be an English pub given my workplace, but otherwise I VOTE THIS.

Our entree choices are fish and chips, shepherd's pie, or vegetable boxty.

Librarian Warlord
In the past we've had a library party that is employees only and involves BBQ and a game of Trivial Persuit, a law school party which is for all the family and is finger food, booze and an appearance by Santa, and a university party which is more finger food, booze and cash door prizes.
I've gotten invites to the law school and university parties, but no word from the boss about a library party, yet.

Our party is the whole School (within the University) and my first year it was at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, last year it was at the Science Museum (which was AWESOME) and it's at the MFA again this year. I like going, it's big enough that you can disappear if you need to. I wish we were going to the Aquarium, which is where they had it the year before I started. Could hang with the penguins!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
My larger team is having a potluck and white elephant gift exchange. The question is, do I try for a vaguely normal silly gift, or should I just go with wrapping up some wacky goth stuff, because that's what they expect me to do anyway.
