Office Party

It's been a few weeks on the new gig and other than the occasional client from Hades, things are going pretty well. The pay is decent and there's a zero tolerance policy for stank attitudes so everyone's on their best behavior whether their sales are in the gutter or not.  The idea is to sustain morale so the term, "Stay positive!" gets thrown around a lot. It must be working b/c no one's grumpy and complaining much... at least not out loud anyway.

So, today I clock in as usual and make my way to the cubicle when one of the suits stop me dead in my tracks and begins ranting off about an event next month. My ears perk; turns out he's taking names of those who want to attend a company office party....yes, the proverbial "office party". Well. I was expecting that but hey, seems like it may be fun though those things tend to be wee awkward as people attempt to let their hair down... but of course, not so far as to do or say anything par martini that might get them blackmailed on Monday.


Well, I smiled and told Mr. Man to jot me down (possibly +1) and throw in the drink tickets... in case things get a bit stuffy. Lame, but I'm actually looking forward to this! I feel the need to open up, network and meet new people. So, it should be refreshing...and hey, if nothing else, I'll just enjoy watching the banter and perhaps score a few cheap laughs...
