COMPANY XMAS PARTIES -
11-28-2006, 11:32 AM
do those of that work have them? we do each year. They are always at 4 star hotels which is fine but Im a blue jeans and tshirt kinda guy. I hate those uppercrust types that seem to dominate these festivities. I just try to do 1 thing, not be the one everyone talks about after the party. It seems like there is always 1 or 2 guys/girls that get too drunk. Ours is this Saturday.

We always have one, but it's usually at a nice pub. Dress is the same as what you'd wear on a night on the town. Not sloppy, but not uber-dressy.

I'm going to my friend's company xmas party. She works on one of the small cruise ships at the Toronto Harbourfront. 15 bucks gets you a buffet dinner, and 3 free drinks at the bar. they have live entertainment and shiet. should be fun. nice shirt and pants is all i need. boat parties own.

ours is at the Amway Grand in Grand Rapids http://www.amwaygrand.com/, its "Party Casual Attire" which means no jacket or tie. This is the first year we didnt have to wear a monkey suit. I have no idea what they spend. It has to be at least 10 grand. All the employees get a room for the night so there is no liablity as far as driving drunk goes. Now that I think of it each room has to be about $200 and we have over 50 employees attending so they must be spending closer to 20 grand. Id rather get a fat bonus check!!!

we have a one every year, we went the mandarine last year, (I made a thread about it) this year it's fucking $30 for some gay ass swiss chalet dinner, some DJ I dont give a shit about and a useless dance floor. I aint dancing with ppl from the store.
and it was that dumb twat I was trying to nail that set it all up. I gave her hell for all that useless shit.
needless to say, I am not going this year.
