Bolas 5 #4 December 12, 2007 Go this year and get extremely shitfaced. Make out with the boss (even better if he's a guy). Get a strip poker game going. You'll never have to attend again. Bolas "thought he was smart by not hitting on his manager's hot daughter but her friend instead which tirned out to be his wife" Rodriguez. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #7 December 12, 2007 Quote How do I tactfully get out of the company Christmas dinner without offending the boss, I f*$king hate company dinners, Mr. Bossman, I must turn down your generous invitation to the Christmas dinner. The holiday season, while most consider it to be a wonderful time to share time with their loved ones, families and friends, has become a time of remembrances for me. It is a very personal and private time. I reflect upon past Christmases--not only those I spent as a young child in the orphanage, but those I spent in the penitentary, after my convictions for murder, incest, and unnatural acts with a group of monkeys. It is a solemn time during which I look upon the past and use it as a compass to guide my future of revenge and mayhem. But thankyou again for your generosity.

Snowwhite 0 #14 December 13, 2007 Quote How do I tactfully get out of the company Christmas dinner without offending the boss, I f*$king hate company dinners, My father was the vice pres of his company. I'll never forget the advice he gave Streaker when we got married. It went something like this "remember that the company picnic and Christmas party are not mandatory, but understand that attendance IS being taken." He was right, anybody who became somebody in the company attended every function cheerfully, and soberly.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad you'll only attend 23 more.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
