The end of the year Christmas party

63

By tnt012

FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER

So T's getting ready to go shake it down at the end of the year party man I'm surprised I'm even invited to the thing i think they would have a lot of explaining to do if the Boss managed not to see me there

So its already started to go downhill when i couldn't get babysitters to look after the kids but i guess it was bound to happen especially when i spread the rumours about the kids being the devil incarnate and they were put on this earth to give me hell before i died . You know kind of like an apprenticeship that lasts your whole life before you get sent to the real place to kind of get you used to the idea. The exorcist scene where her head spins around has been used in quite a few profiles where I've tried to define what the children do

So the invite says dress smart casual so off the mark I'm already failing my idea of casual is a singlet shorts thongs u know the usual couch attire but the wife quickly points out that this indeed may not strike a chord with the main movers and shakers of the current Era, I'm looking through the clothes closet to which i have shirts from every generation sadly none that fit in the current trend but hell put me on the set on The Planet of The Apes and i would be right at home

The closet is where i shelve all of the trends of the post modern tragedies of the fashion world (along with a colony of silverfish ) that spans generations .I managed to get something that maybe i might get away with for the night and proceed to get ready for the gut wrenching churn of acidic indigestion's and god awful scream emitting from my gut the description" butterflies" has cocooned itself and proceeded to transform once again to flesh eating vampire bats

We also have on the invite " get yourself there and we will get you home or to your next destination" great no need to worry ill just fill my gut with food and drink and ill be looked after I'm glad somebody's thinking on the board

We get there and already I'm getting grim looks from the high and mighty I'm thinking great T's gonna have a hell of a night and the kids ain't even here good thing I'm mentally prepared for an exhausting night of questions and "Where is the Wife" topped 1st in that poll but i changed my answers every time just to screw with them

You know it was "yeah shes here inside the big cake shes gonna come out later "

And then it was like"yeah she decided to walk she should be here in about.....ohhh 5 hours"

but my personal favorite was "yeah well when i told her about the pricks i work with i couldn't drag her here"

So were close to the river and i thought here's where the high and mighty supervisors gonna get up and show us his new party trick parting the Swan River and after he was finished with that little feat he would feed the entire restaurant and surrounding suburbs on a loaf of bread and a solitary prawn

But alas he couldn't mange that one i waited nearly all night for that shite had the phone present just for that golden photo opportunity

All night the party's official photographer which was one of the girls in the office was getting everybody's photos down for prosperity oops did i say everybody's yeah well almost everybody hey I'm not that bad looking even Stevie Wonder thinks I'm good looking of course he also said the cheese grater i sent him last year was the best book he ever read.

Oh yeah the night is over and I'm ready for the ride home right? all Ive got to do is pay the cab with a credit card and they will reimburse me! simple right the only thing is i don't have a credit card i cut that sucker up the moment i could hopefully when Monday comes they will still remember

take care

So true! It usually sucks when you don't really like the people you work with (or for, for that matter!) But if it's mandatory that you be seen by the Boss you have no choice but, as you say, shake it down! or pretend! :D

Haha! Good story. Well, I read in the paper that companies are cancelling christmas parties and instead giving money to charity... Sounds good to me!
