Christmas Parties. Who's Going?
There will be two, one for the building I work in, which was today, and another for my company, which will be in a few days. I'm not much for schmoozing too much, I just want food!
How about you?

I didn't mind them back when I was young.
Felt nice to be included with colleagues i respected and admired.
But as I grew older and more experienced in the work I've come to see them as either gossip gatherings or opportunities for the more gregarious to cosy up to Managers to ingratiate themselves so they can ask endless favours for time off or to be considered for promotion to positions they're unlikely to be the best candidate for.
So if I can't avoid being involved i'll participate to the bare minimum required then once everyone has had a few i'll sneak away.
Personally I like to keep work and time away from it separate because some you work with have a hard time discerning which is which.
