We're having a holiday meal at a great Italian restaurant. And my small company is paying! Oh...I'll be there! Best part: it's in the middle of a Friday afternoon! Beautiful! Drinking: I 'on know yet.
I never attended the holiday party for another company that employed me for nearly 3 years. I loathed upper management, and I didn't want to get dressed up to act like I was holly and jolly with those people.

this is the ONE THING i miss about my old job - partying. We held last year's on a ship, wonderful food and flowing bar.
My current job seems like we're having a potluck/pizza party type thing. I KNOW we won't have any drinks but juice and soda.  Oh well. Free food so i won't complain.

That sucks! But enjoy the free food, I guess.

Do we work at the same place?  
I'm not attending. This is very different for our holiday social. From what I've heard, most folks are NOT attending. I wouldn't be surprised if its canceled because of low numbers. We are accustomed to a blowout with alcohol, food, and a DJ. Our school is known for partying hard.  This is totally out of our element, so I am SURE there will be an unofficial party planned before we get out on the 21st.

I am going. My firm goes all out with the menu and location. We're at a country club nearby. We choose from Filet Mignon and Salmon, Filet Mignon and Chicken Or Vegetarian. Unfortunately, I'm trying to become a vegetarian so I will have to sit there and watch everyone else eat my favorite cut of beef while I have the vegetarian plate!
Oh well.

I attended my college alumni social last night. It was a mellow event. We didn't get out of hand. Someone did bring Long Island Iced Tea. I hadn't had that since I was in college. It was a great gathering. We had class members from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s present. I enjoy hearing about the good ole days.

...SC, why don't you try to become a vegetarian after the party? I mean, no sense in letting a good, "free" steak just go past you all like that, right?

I attended the holiday party for the campus that I work on. It was very festive. They had a calypso band, horderves and great gifts that they raffled off.

Our holiday party was Saturday. A lot of people were toasted by the time I left, and that was 9:15p. I couldn't get down like that.

Soror, the same thing about the people at my job:
Someone passes the bar exam - let's go to the bar.
Someone's leaving for another job - let's go to the bar.
New interns coming in - let's go to the bar.
Notice the pattern here? LOL.
