Vortex - I would love to send that email. Sadly, it would probably get me into a huge pile of shit.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Do you want me to call people? You know I will. I LIKE being mean to people who deserve it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
rudeness is not necessary. Esp in an office. But then again , I keep hearing Adults say things like "Eww when presented with food they don't like instead of saying no thank you .
And I like the low-key ones. and not the fancy ones that are proceeded by no bonus this year notices.
ION, my cat is still getting ill a bout 4 hours after he eats. I have to take him to the vet, because it has been three days, but I am almost 100% sure it is a hairball situation.
And I guess i got the good kitty crack last night -- he keeps trying to get in the box of food.

I don't like the entitlement aspect of it, either. Like the agency has some responsibility to invite your friends and family. Friends and family were invited when there were 10 people here. Now there are 30. That's a lot of damn people to feed and entertain and let's not forget - WE'RE A NON PROFIT!! Either shut up and enjoy it for what it is or just shut up.

I'm getting the pig!
That sucks, Aimee. Can you have some fun *while* teaching them a lesson by asking your boss for permission to nominate who should be on next year's holiday party planning committee? I've found that snippy people that bitch about these types of things at least see the other side of the issue when forced to plan within certain guidelines.

I could, but they wouldn't do it. I swear, I saw much less of this bullshit when working for a huge corporation. It astounds me.
We do get bonuses, too. Nothing much - about $100 cash the Friday before the holiday break, and people bitch about that. People, in general, will just bitch about anything. I hate people.

Our company party was this past Saturday. A what-passes-for-fancy dinner at a "family oriented, Broadway style" show venue. Our HR director's nephew's band provided the music. But that's OK, because "They've played on Dancing with the Stars!". They promised an "edgy" show for Utah County. "Show tunes. But nothing from Grease." They got through the two big songs from Wicked before Hubby and I had to bail because it was so loud we were both getting migraines. Apparently if I'd lasted through an hour of loud, "edgy" show tunes I'd have gotten a $200 gift certificate to someplace.
Not worth Hubby's migraine.

I don't enjoy company functions, but there is no excuse for rudeness, especially towards those whose job includes organizing said functions.
