This whole month is big for company Christmas parties. Everyone grabs up the best restaurants and clubs for their private parties. And let’s face it, if you work someplace and they throw a party, you pretty much HAVE to go to the party. So that makes the regular places either closed to the public or all your friends are gone to their company functions.

My company is going to do a daytime thing for all the employees. We’re closing at noon on the Tuesday before Christmas for an afternoon of food and a gift exchange. Then we are closed for the next three week days plus the weekend. So anyone who has to go out of town gets a nice long break for traveling.

So what to do tonight? I think I’ll go down to Dave & Busters and see if anyone wants to take me on a few video games or maybe bowl a few. There’s usually some of my crew hanging thee and I don’t even have to change clothes after work. I can just go on over and have a brewski until the rest of them show up.
