OMG, this is an oxymoron...how can you have a holiday party at your office? Office/Party is impossible. You can not party at your office. You can pretend and make a video about perfect manners at your office, but seriously, office parties cannote sex, booze and a free for all in the lobby fountain. At least that was what the office parties were like when I attended them.
Happily married couples are the first to arrive and first to leave, in about 45 minutes. You can set your watch on them. Unhappily married people do not attend as a couple. You will see them arrive, but never see them leave and with whom they leave with.
If you go out with the cute babe you've been hoping to get up enough courage to ask out after the office party, beware, you will never go out with her again, no matter what happens. She won't remember what happened and will figure it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing just to be out with you in the first place.
Office parties are a must attend, just like the silly video says. But if you have good manners, you won't stay long, won't eat anything, and only drink a non-alcholic beverage...then go out with your buddies and tie one on and really celebrate the holidays!
Happy Holidays,they're almost over!!!!
