Pæs and I are at our office Christmas party.

The theme is Mexican.

At least one person is dressed as a drug dealer named Sanchez, and cheap sombreros abound.

"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."


Richter

The Chi Omega Sorority just got a ration of shit for that sort of behavior.  Avoid all cameras so you don't even appear associated with it.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Sorry, my mistake -- there are at least three drug dealers, because two of them just got Best Dressed.

Fuck everything.

Everyone just pretended to be boring white people at mine.  It was VERY convincing, let me tell you.

I have Navyguy's "office" party tonight with the base command.

Apparently it's okay for me to wear jeans and bring a flask.

Actually, that was a big thing about a year ago. Google image search "David Bain jumper".

I didn't go to mine.

"Fuck you, and fuck your party.  I'm going to go catch up on sleep LIKE A BOSS."  I may have hallucinated sending that, since I am not yet fired.

 :horrormirth:

ohlord.  that sounds like something that would be in Japan or something.  is this something that would fly in general in NZ?  like nobody batted an eye at a stereotype themed christmas party?

Sounds better than the 'White Trash' theme I'll have to deal with tomorrow.

Laugh, even if you are screaming inside. Smile, because the world doesn't care if you feel like crying.

Oh, their Christmas parties are never official. Working in a pharmacy kinda makes a party hard to do.

But just about everyone, including the boss, tends to be there.
