Office Party Part II
Office Party Part II
I was late. I couldn't find my bloody car keys, which I had cleverly hidden from myself by dropping them into the black hole that is my purse. Mike is waiting patiently for me outside the building where he works. I get my little visitor's badge from security and follow Mike back through the maze of cubicles to the room where the party is being held. I discover when we get there that it's not a traditional party, it's a Christmas program put on by some of the employees. We're late, the place is packed but we eventually find seats in the bleachers.The program was surprisingly good, an electic mix of Christmas carols, an lady from India doing a traditional dance that was pretty cool, funny videos produced by some of the different departments, even a banjo picker. It ran a little over, almost 3 hours instead of 2, but all in all, I had fun.
I even behaved myself, mostly. Though I couldn't resist when the carolers were singing A Winter Wonderland and got to the line of "We'll sing and we'll play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland." I leaned over and whispered to Mike,"The Eskimo way? We're not doing _that_. Didn't they traditionally let their visitors have sex with their wives? Why, we'd never get rid of the carolers then."
He not-so-quietly lost it then. Poor guy.
