"I've learned over the years to have fun at the company Christmas party but not so much fun that you get called into the boss' office on Monday" hee, I always think of the classic Married with Children "It's a Wonderful Life" episode with Marcy at her company Christmas party photocopying her ass and dancing on the table tops!!!

Man, I wish I was employed so I could go to a company party! Now I feel like crying!

At least you get a company party. I work for a jewish guy who seems to forget Christmas all together. But a group of us have put together a potluck for tomorrow and we will exchange gifts , whoopee! Oh by the way I am bringing a piggy cookie jar.

The party tray has vegetables on it, doesn't it? Oh yes, you shall be very popular. Let's just hope none of the women are on the Atkins diet. Then they'll hate you. I remember Christmas parties. Us Adminitrative Assistants (doesn't sound as cute as Secretaries) would all bring something. I was always the favorite for cupcakes and cookies.

Just make sure that they don't try to tax your Christmas bonus like that company that taxed $15 gift cards they gave their employees. And the Southern Living at Home catalog rocks. As much as something with expensive stuff you don't need can rock, that is.

Why is it called "Dirty Santa"? With a name like that, it makes me think of naughty presents. Since i have worked in an office, i know that some of these secretaries actually NEED a "naughty present".

Instead of a Christmas party, our boss is taking us out to dinner. He has made it clear that he can't really AFFORD to, and that he doesn't HAVE to, but he WANTS to, even though sales have been down 8% for the year. His Christmas note to the employees said all of this, and he even added a hand-drawn frowny face, in case we somehow managed to miss the point otherwise. At these dinners, he likes to stand up and tell everyone how much we suck as a company, how disappointed he is, and how he hopes we suck less in the upcoming year. What he doesn't mention, however, is that we have gone up 30% in sales since 9/11, in spite of being downsized by more than half of the employees (he fired someone every time the budget got tight). He also doesn't like to discuss the $40,000 in commissions this year that are unaccounted for, but which everyone knows ended up in his personal bank account. Whee! I'd much rather go to a party where everyone exchanged shit and tampons than go to this Dinner of Doom. Uncle Bob, care to trade places?

I got a flu shot for the first time this year. I also got the flu for the first time in years. Go figure.

No flu shot for me. I'm too paranoid that I'll get something that's been tampered with. I smoke too much pot.

I'm one of those lucky people with a minor but occasionally troublesome auto-immune disease. However, I am also unemployed. This means my chances of getting the flu from someone who comes in despite coughing up blood dragging along an IV to show how HARD he WORKS is about nil. Yay for social recluses. So, my husband, being as he has a job and therefore social contact with sick people, got the flu shot early. Then they announce that the flu which has killed something like 10 people in my state alone (we also lead the nation in West Nile and Multiple Sclerosis. And many towns here were built as tuberculosis rest homes. Go us!) was not in the flu vaccine. My husband then came down with the Killer Flu which none of you are protected from anyway because they didn't make the required vaccine. My mother got the flu, but it was the very same flu strain that was in her flu shot. I took care of him for a week and I got the sniffles. I guess you'll get it or you won't, and I've never gotten a flu shot in my life - nor have I ever gotten the latest season's nasty flu strain.

i've been lucky enough to avoid flu and flu shots all my life. i will remain healthy. and i will take over the world.

I would not go for a flu shot. It seems like the media is having a field day with this. Sometimes you can't believe anything the news says. Anyway, have fun at your Christmas thing!

I was at a christmas party one year where we were playing dirty santa and this guy brought a present that consisted of one TIDE detergent box filled to the brim with horse shit. Man, that was hilarious.

I'm not going for a flu shot either, but it has nothing to do with my views one way or the other. I'm simply too lazy. And, I'm still waiting to see the lyrics to your rap, Bobert...

awittykitty - 2003-12-16 14:06:20
well uncle bob, if you are the sole MALE member in a 19 women office, trash the tray, you're the bestest present anyone could ever want. :-)

Unwashed Santa - 2003-12-16 14:11:01
tell me the 'tumbler full of ice' isnt a real rhyme. you'll have to post a transcript of the rap here later for our amusement. and 19 women and you? egads, that place must absolutely reek of FDS from time to time. wait, was that insensitive?

sheeeet, I missed out on the flu shots, now they're all gone.... But I have been making up for it with plenty of shots of Jagermeister.... it's almost like cold / flu medicine...

You could be the most popular one at the gift exchange, OR the one they all talk about later ("that damn Uncle Bob... I hate it when people don't stick to the $ limit on these gift exchanges and make the rest of our gifts look like shit"). If I worked with you, it would be the latter, but that's just the kind of girl I am. I wouldn't be happy (unless I ended up with the tray, that is).

I got the flu shot AND THE FLU. Which I currently have now, going on day 3. UGH!

Chris - 2004-11-30 13:02:42
Of course, you might end up being "That Axxhole who went over the limit and made everyone else look bad." That guy's almost as hated as Suckas-gift giving guy. Good luck, CS
