Work Christmas Do

[peoffrey]

What are you doing for yours?

Ours is tomorrow. It's free food, free beer and wine, music, entertainment and a few "surprises" apparently. We're having it in a rental hall at a Hotel Complex and I intend to enjoy myself on works money for the first time in a year. We're not the most sociable organisation as each one of our Titles work independently of eachother (we're a Publisher) so I suspect they make it free food and drink to ensure people go.

The surprise is probably half the work force is being made redundant

We had an Irish Street Dancing duo who were OK and a live band. Someone also went dressed as Jimmy Savile as the theme was School Days. Not even I'd stoop that low.

We had ours last week at a Greek restaurant in Newcastle. I had the unenviable task of ensuring our resident gifted lad had no more than two beers after he went berserk last year.

Was it you who got a new bitchy boss who upset everyone JOTS or was that someone else?
If it was you, did she go?

Well remembered mate, she had her arse kicked big time when the regular manager came back off sick leave. In her words, 'That snotty cow will never be left to do my job again'. Result.

Not having one, we used to get together and organise a meal at one of the local hotels for a Friday evening in December but the food was not as good as at other times of the year and the set price was about £10 a head more expensive so last year we decided to wait until the last day and then all head to the pub, two of us are in court on the last day this year so cant even do that.

I was on the Airport on Thursday evening with my boss, after putting forward the business plan to the UK board.

I had been with him since 3am it was nearly 10pm before our flight departed back to the Ireland.

For my evening meal he had bought me a 4 pound meal deal from Boots, after I had finished this he cheerfully informed me he was taking all the staff to Subway on Wednesday for our Christmas meal.

Rock and roll baby, roll on Friday so I can sod off for a fortnight.

Mines on Sunday, 5 course meal at 'the swamp', free drinks and they have a few shows on and bumper cars apparently. The latter combined with beer does not seem like a good combination, but I have a feeling they will be combined.

I did exactly the same for mine last week! The free drink is a bottle of cheap champagne!! And you have to pay extra for the bumper cars, casino and whatever else there is on!!

It was ok, lots of talent there!!
