Holiday Party 2008

So my company descended on the Rittenhouse Hotel on 12/19 for the annual Holiday Party.  In the previous two years our decorum was kept in check by dinosaur bones and butterflies.  This year, all we had was a fancy hotel to get wasted in.  And boy did people get wasted.

While the slurring and swaying is typical, as is the drunken-dancing, we did have a few employees who won the gold(schlager) star award.  One woman fell flat on her ass - at the start of the night.  And then tried to hit on the waiter who helped her up.  One of the women who is higher up in the organization definitely had too much to drink.  And I am pretty sure that the entire staff got rick-rolled by the DJ.

All told it was a very fun evening to unwind and pat each other on the back for a lot of hard work in tough times.  Many companies scaled back or canceled their holiday parties completely, so for us to still have such a lavish event did not go unnoticed by this blogger.
