The infamous company Christmas party
Megs, this ones for you:
So last week I got an e-mail for the company Christmas party and needed to RSVP. The invite said let my boss know if I was coming and if I was bringing my spouse, significant other, date or friend. Well last time I checked I wasn't married, in a serious relationship or even dating. I know I just admitted my loser dating status and non-existant love life-UGH! Luckily I have friends-THANK GOD for that! The thought that really crossed my mind was not if I was going to respond for one or two, but "Gosh, I thought once I graduated college I wouldn't have the task of trying to find a date to attend a function. After graduation you have no more school dances, sorority formals or date parties" -but alas you have work parties and there is the option to bring someone with you.
Well to let ya'll know I responded to the e-mail with 2. Now I have until December 10th to decide who I want to take. Many of you know who I'd like to take, but really I know that won't happen so it will be a last minute decision. (At least I didn't have to write out an enormous check to the social coordinator for me and my yet to be determined date.) Who knows maybe I might find an actual date before then (and as we usually say there is still a month-even though we know if I haven't had a date in such a long time like I am going to have one in a month.)
GOOD THING THERE IS GOING TO BE ALCOHOL AT THIS PARTY.
I'll let you know on December 11th how the eveing went. Yeah, for my first office Christmas party!

I took a messenger who delivered a package to my apartment with hair the color of Windex to my first corporate Christmas Party! I was working at a film company, and I remember my boss giving me very strange looks! I never saw him again, and would have had much more fun haed I gone alone. Fear not! I don't even remember his name.
I also know an attorney who was so embarassed to go to his Christmas alone that he hired a very expebsive escort ( ie Hooker) who c harged by the hour, and he sai she was way to conversational ! It ended up costing him over !,000,00! He told her to "get suddenly ill" after the first course so he could get off without spending a ton of cash, but she didn't! The next went skiing ot avoid the issue!
