Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am hoping not to stay too long.
I'm lucky that ours is down the street from my office this year, so I think I'm going to show up for a little while to scope out the food situation, and then leave. The high heels can stay under my desk, though.
Unless I ditch it entirely. I'm not sure I can handle socializing right now, plus I have to do team dinners and outings and events while I'm in NYC next week.
Our office party apparently involves bowling.
NOPE.
I used to love our department's Selfish Santa (white elephant), but that was back in the day when we were a pretty tight-knit group of people with compatible senses of humor. This year I'm not sure it will be as much fun.
I despise forced cheerfulness and comraderie.
Yeah. My family occasions are enough like photo ops as it is.(although now I'm picturing CJ Cregg facing my evil stepmonster all "Ask your question or move on," which is making me smile.

One year we had lawn bowls. For the last couple of years we've just gone to a restaurant, I rather miss the dada that went into previous offerings.

Oh! Our office does the Kris Kringle thing. This year I was the last person to pick out a name, and I drew myself. After considering the logistics to redo things, I just kept it. So I'm gifting myself this year. (I'm curious to see if I like what I picked out.)
My desktop computer is definitely in hard drive failure. Happily, it's a RAID disk mirrored, so I will likely not lose any data, besides which I think all the important data is backed up with Carbonite, so it's just the annoyance and expense.
Oh, ha ha. Someone wants me to get on a call. That never ends well, and I already want to destroy the world.
I, for one, welcome our new overlord shrift.
NOPE.
Ditched so many team outings of this sort, and they were always not on my way home either.
Hey! If I pass my background/drug (oh....) test, I can start on the 11th! So no feting yet, but hopeful noises!
