Work Christmas parties

[rossatdi]

I've recently rolled into the office after a particularly good Christmas party. I've only been to two now (last year's was a different company and also rubbish) but this year's was fantastic.

A few shenanigans (kissing the hot but married director of finance under the mistletoe being the worst/best!) aside it was a great time.

I was actually dreading it but was happily surprised. About 6 people from the office formed a band and played a couple of classics which was awesome.

How about you guys? Any good or awful work parties? Dislike the concept?

At my workplace (Blockbuster.. (it's only a sidejob) we get money to have a christmas party... However, we can't have in the period november-february, because it's holiday season, and nobody can cover for anybody if all are having christmas lunches. Last time, we had ours in mid june..

We had one at one time, I think it was october two years ago, which was pretty awesome. I had just moved into my flat, and spent the first night there with one of my co-workers. Pretty good way to get comfortable in your new flat

Oh god, can't work out if I'm still drunk or just very hungover. One of the accounts girls crawled home at 6:30 in the morning and threw up over herself in the shower ([a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuel"]nightmare fuel[/a]).

Office Christmas parties are a great opportunity to take incriminating photos of your co-workers. Seriously, it's like a free promotion!

Mines coming up on the 19th.

There is a whole load of complication with mine, and i'm not actually sure it's worth it.

The one the year before the company went to a huge house out in the sticks, luxury hotel basically. Then our company does what it does best, cause a small riot and create a bunch of sexual tension for 6 weeks, and lots of rumours.

Your place sounds like our place.
