Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Strange. I've never been to such a party. Seems it's totally uncommon here. But I suppose I wouldn't participate even if it was common. No way. I think work is something that doesn't go well with casual, drinking-related meetings. Oh well. Depends who you work with? Maybe. Anyway, good luck Khepri II! I hope you manage not to trigger off another fight
I avoid anything that features the cretins I work with and drink. I know how I like to tell people what I think of their penny-ass, snivelling, petty minded, s**t hole of a department.
Just Say NO!

Boring isn't the right word....giddy is probably the best description. They scamper round all the tables collecting all the tooters, paper hats and cracker toys to take back for the kids.....
Five cups of coffee just to be myself...when I'd rather be somebody else
I have to attend mine in about a half an hour. I'm partially dreading it. I'm sure the restaurant/food/whatever will be fantastiK but the company?? The statement "I get paid to deal with you people. Beyond that...." comes to mind.

I stuck with the Guinness whilst mayhem ruled all around me from the jelly crew. It was not a nice sight, still I have one up my sleeve regarding my (ahem) bosslady

Xmas parties are top - you can be as obnoxious as yer like to those who really have deserved it, then simply 'forget' it all the following morning.
Mine on Friday, I dare say there'll be the usual array of nurses and whatnot getting their ears licked. Aftershock is a very lovely drink. As is Eggnog.

There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
