Today is our post-holiday "Holiday Party," or "Employee Appreciation Party" as they are calling it. This morning we got an email with the "agenda." Never had an agenda for a party before. Do we need to keep minutes? Should I bring my Steno book? Damn, I never learned shorthand.
There will be awards (length-of-service awards, which you get at 5 year intervals), prizes, food, and music and dancing (?). This is a party during work hours (3.5 work hours, to be exact). There is even a scheduled order of when each department gets to get on the buffet line. We are considered "office staff" and therefore we are last
.
The party is 12-3:30. My boss told those of us who come in at 8 that we could come in at 7 instead and just leave right after the party. I didn't really want to get up that early, but the weather is pretty nasty so I didn't even get here until 9. Took me a little over an hour (including my Starbuck's stop--hey, I was gonna be late anyway...) for a normally 30 minute (at most) drive. So technically I should stay until 5:30, but I will see how the weather is and decide later. I have 2 days left to make up the time for the week. This morning I drove in in what was basically tiny hail, which is supposed to turn to snow later and then ice overnight.
5 minutes till party time...
