This is what happens....

Post by mings »

...when your company loses a major account and experiences some major cash flow shortage. Your Christmas (I'm in NYC so God-forgive me if I don't say Holiday) party is in the company foyer, with tables set up by the elevator.

I'm going, but I wasn't going to. Since my evening plans just opened up (was going apt searching) I think I'll check it out, but it doesn't seem very inviting.

Mings will report later, or sooner, depending on how stinky farty smelly this thing turns out to be.

Can't help it. It's a natural skill.

At least you get a christmas/holiday party.

We get nothing. Zip. Nada.

We are not having a Holiday party, at least that I am aware of, for our employees this year. Fine by me though, I can't stand most of the idiots we hire anyway. I skipped out on the party last year, guess I did not show the best leadership skills on that one. Hopefully though, we will take out some clients, that is much more fun.

You're probably one of those people that crashes other people's work holiday parties... :roll:

Its much more fun being the happy drunk guy no one knows but talks about at work the next day.

I crash weddings in the summer and work parties in the winter. Gotta do something in the offseason to score free booze.

Our party was great this year! We had it at the Supper Club in San Francisco. A new club that just opened and originated in Amsterdam (Guess that explains the topless dancers)

Here are some "Artzy" pictures that someone took at the party:

We had these women:

But the person organizing the party thought this "service" was going too far:

Dumb and drunk as I was, you know I would do it all again.
