Oh no.... Party Games!!!! Definitely a reason to get out as quickly as possible. I totally agree with you on all points. If there were any professional contacts that I wanted to socialize with outside of the office, I would arrange that on my own. Party games - my god, just shoot me. The food, however, is another issue. Our office party is held at a rather swanky country club so the "meat" dish is usually prime rib or filet mignon while the seafood dish has been shrimp, lobster or orange roughy stuffed with crabmeat. Needless to say, the menu makes it tolerable. Besides that, we're bribed to show up at the "holiday" party. If we want our Christmas bonus, we have to be there - no show, no bonus.
Holiday Cheer?
