Work Xmas parties.

Post by angelicupstart »

I had my generic work xmas party saturday night and oh what a surprise the dj actually played Metallica, it was Enter Sandman not my favourite but by far better than any other drivel he played.
So there I was in front of 140 people on the dance floor full of vodka in 4 inch heels having a little mosh pit by myself!!
It earned me a round of applause, some funny looks and some great pics but who cares it was the highlight of my night.

Anyone else had a work xmas party yet.

And girls I don't recommend headbanging in 4 inch heels whilst drunk. :D

I work for a foster care agency. We had our party with the staff, foster parents and all the kids. I was working that night and of course one of the girls had to cause drama... but hey I got paid to attend the party.

On a side note, angelicupstart: I hate the "raw raw it is Sandman" mentality. When I was at the San Jose Met Show last weekend, it pissed me off when the whole audience came alive during Sand Man: Ummm hello do you even know what the hell is what? Where were you during all the awesome songs you just listened to for the couple hours?!!

Yep I agree I stare in wonder everytime I see them and watch the poeple around me be completely silent until Sandman, Sad or NEM is played - and on the odd occasion i've been known to tell 'em off.
But hey Sandman at a work party was cool and know everyone is avoiding me cos i'm weird hahaha!

well, my work xmas party was truly pathetic. we went to a very well-known hotel here in stinking hot adelaide (owned by a very well-known former aussie rules football player), and all we got for our money was nibblies... no meals, no drinks, nothing!!! bloody pathetic!! quite a few of us complained to the organiser, and hopefully something better will be planned for next year.

btw, it wasnt the pubs (hotels) fault, it was the organisers, for not planning properly.

I missed my main job christmas party, as it clashed with my pool christmas party I've been doing for like 8 years, and I'd already paid for it.

As for the pool one, we had dinner and basically got blind, the usual. WE've done it for years so most people are used to it, a few of the newbies were a bit surprised and struggled to keep up though :lol:
