Oh, ha ha. Someone wants me to get on a call. That never ends well, and I already want to destroy the world.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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!

One year when I was at Lotus we had a fancy Xmas party at the Museum of Science, so we could wander through the exhibits and so on, that was really supernice for the non-drinkers/non-partyers.
When I worked at MIT Sloan, we had an Xmas party at MoS one year, and twice at the Boston MFA. It was nice.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
We haven't had a real Christmas party at my office in years, but as the President who retired last year was big into those "getting to know you" type party games I sure haven't minded their absence.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
No holiday parties at work for me.
Meanwhile I forgot to put earrings on today, which meant I was practically naked. Didn't realize it until I was on my way to work. Don't know where my brain was...

ita, you might want to get doctors notes for the drugs that are going to be detected.

Well, rather than going to the holiday party at 5:30, I will be on a conference call.
