I have bloody well concluded that y'all are funny.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OK, here's another topic: Why would you throw someone a surprise going-away party? If my boss hadn't just told me, I would have started to think that there wasn't going to be one! And I want a going-away party!
dude, your office, as a culture, is lacking in social skills.
It's just her office telling her, "Dude, nobody likes you. Surprise! We do like you!"
Word of warning - don't let anyone bring in a John Deere.
I suspect this opinion is shared by many here, but I really dislike surprise parties
They do this shit all the time here, and I just think it's bizarre. It's not like it's a surprise that I'm leaving!

If it's supposed to be a surprise that they care, it's probably just as well you're going.
I don't think I have ever had a surprise party. If all of you are at my house some day when I get home, it's all good. I did throw DH a surprise party for his 40th. It was particularly insane since he scheduled us to leave town the next day because he didn't know.
I had a surprise party once that was a blast--soon after I'd gotten the lead in a play in high school, my best friend asked if I wanted to come over for a sleepover, just the two of us hanging out for the evening, something we'd do every once in a while. I didn't think anything about it, said sure. That night, she led me down to the basement and out popped a few other friends of ours who were also staying the night, and they gave me a "Congrats" cake and everything. Very fun!
