We have TWO holiday parties, neither provides alcohol AND we have to go back to work after they're over (one probably has something to do with the other).
I get sad when I hear tales of holiday parties past where they both provided alcohol and let everyone go home early.
My first year here, the luncheon was huge with lots of good quality food, booze and an early dismissal. Then 2008 hit. For a few years we got coffee and nasty pastries. We still got to leave early, so no complaints. Two years ago they bumped it up to sandwiches and last year there was hot food (and always early dismissals).... We have a new president this year. That party/half day should be Friday, December 19th, but I haven't heard anything yet ???

You should go tell the new president what's up.
They take us out for a nice lunch, but I would honestly rather just go home early that day and eat leftovers in my PJs.

I've had one work holiday party that involved alcohol... the Sales Manager got drunk and kissed all the ladies (on the cheek but nonetheless). It was bizarre and hilarious.
Edit: I've basically decided that fuckery is my new favorite swear.
Binge drinking and sexual harassment at office parties should be treated as sacred holiday traditions. Take them away and the holiday season loses its meaning. I have a fun little prank I play where I stick female subordinates' Christmas bonus checks in my pants and ask them if they knew that "bonus" is the plural of "bone me." That joke always kills! It's reduced women to tears more than once.

I work for a state court, and we all go back to work after.
The food was actually pretty good, but the lunch was boring and stiff. A much smaller group of us did do a white elephant/Yankee swap kind of thing after, which was fun. I got a pretty nifty cigar box and a $25 Fandango gift card.
So I am waiting on the magazine to be put all together so I can approve it to go to print. The publisher and all the sales reps leave to go to a Christmas Party while I finish up and make sure their stuff is correct. So I get to miss getting drunk at a party and have to stay at work. Gotta love it.

But you have the satisfaction of putting the finding touches on job well don... nah, fuck that. Booze wins every time.

It is still not done. I have done everything on my end, and I am waiting on production to update Living Proof. They party is going on and I had planned on going, eating and going home. Now I am hungy, grumpy, annoyed and all the bitches are already gone.

You have more internet friends than them now, so there's always that.

Truth. AND these boards have been a lifesaver today.

Just got worse... the servers are now down. So, I definitely won't be making it to the Christmas party, won't get to eat yummy foods and am stuck in the office. UGH.
everyone at my office (marketing agency) makes fun of me for not using the giant ass duel screen monitors. literally every single person has made a comment about it over the last month.
why do I need 3 big ass screens?? what is the point? do they not know how to use alt+tab? also. there's nothing worse than losing your mouse within 3 screens and being unable to find the cursor for a minute. that can really bring out some pent up rage.

omg how terrible. go to the liquor store and have your own holiday party while you wait for the drunk IT guy to fix it.

When I first got dual monitors, I was like, "Why would I need more than one monitor?" But now, I can't imagine not having them. I do a lot of research and writing, so it's very helpful to have research open on one screen while Word is open on the other screen, so I can read and type at the same time. I only have two monitors, though. Can't imagine I would be able to use a third.

Same here. But now when one of my monitors goes out I feel like I'm working with one hand tied behind my back.
I work in a call center and when someone uses the the phrase "that is unacceptable" while speaking with me, I shut down. I would rather have someone call me a f***ing wh**e, which someone did today, than say "that is unacceptable" to me.

I just got a second monitor this past summer and it was LIFE changing. Tasks that were daunting and frustrating before are all of a sudden easy peasy.
I just cannot drink the kool aid on this one!
also. I just got a new cubemate. our office is growing so rapidly that they're doubling all of us up while we wait for our expansion. anyway, she now has my screens since I don't use them. also I'm afraid she's going to see me on here and be like wtf are you doing over there? actually, I'm going to put money on her not having a clue what bonnaroo is.
