sorry to hear that wonderK. a little hair of the dog this afternoon?

i have lived here for about four and a half months i have 17 wine corks in a bowl. a good average...

Drunk.
Foshan, Guangdong, China.

Just went out with my chinese employees who dont speak english. In China, when you eat, drink etc., you have your own rooms, rather than one public space. Then they brought in a line of girls that I had to choose from to partner me. Very unconfitable for me, but I chose anyway - its what you do. Then a drinking/dice game, which I happen to be very good at, so not as drunk as I could be. Essntially you have a cup with 5 die, and you have two to 10 players. You bluff and guess how many 1s,2s,3s,4s,5s,6s are under the cups...

Dont worry lb, wonderk, rational, strawbeary, other archinect-hers, I treated my girl with utmost respect and made sure she was ok. No funny business. Nill interest sharon [kath & Kim to my Australian comrades].

I wont tell you about friday night.... even worse....

are they hiring? i like female company

vado this ones for you, my cork bowl, cat, and dirty sock

diabase, i am sure you were a gentleman.

Buenas Tardes Amigo

from the ramblings from my friends last night from my over-indulgent activities... Rouge Dead Guy is not a good idea after 3 cups-o-"Jungle Juice" and "real Peach Moonshine"...

... face meets grass!

... just wish I'd remember what the moonshine tasted like... My one "real" trip back to Hazzard County and I can't even remember it ~ face meets grass - again! The 2nd face-grass encounter ended up hurting today!

I ask you this, my friend,

Is a firm-sponsored in-house weekly happy hour evidence that the projects suck and the principals want you to forget how bad your week was so that you'll happily return to work on Monday morning?

cheers

are chu talkin to me DCA?

if so (since I am "drunk" by the way I'll respond a bit uninhibitedly)... the projects do suck to the tune of an M.Arch thesis that "owns" me and the local happy hour takes place at a place where I can get a 3.25 - 32oz Guiness so thankfully I don't have the duldrums of a bad workplace and a boss that would rather get me shitfaced than give me quality work so that I'll return come the end of the weekend... the drunkeness is of my own device :D

woot = 4 - 32oz Guiness, 2 - double Jose C. Black and Coke - lotsa sushi - and an 8:am tailgate appt with DUKE and ... champagne and OJ (what kind of sissy drink is that anyway?)

woot! where it is the toilet:D

My question still stands, 4 months later:

Is a firm-sponsored in-house weekly happy hour evidence that the projects suck and the principals want you to forget how bad your week was so that you'll happily return to work on Monday morning?

Tonight as I was enjoying happy hour with some co-workers on the company's front porch (yes, a gorgeous night in DC), my project manager promised to take the team out for martinis next Friday. I thought it was a great offer. He said I wouldn't remember.

After he left, I promptly went back to my desk and created an Outlook meeting invitation. However, the first attempt was for 5 AM to 7 AM next Friday (DOH). I think I managed to eek out the correct time on the second attempt.

I'll try to report back next Friday on the results.

we had our xmas party tonight. i thought it was quite early to have one. however, i went down to a highclass watering hole before our party as i had an hour to kill and had a talisker neat with a water back. well, it seems there were many parties going on. next to me were three couples at the bar waiting for their party to begin. they were traders or in finance or something and one guy was talking about how he wanted to take his wife to new york to visit the wall street trading floor. woohoo. and you think your life is dull. anyway then went to our party and drank four thousand glasses of wine...

our office xmas party consists of a dingy bowling alley catered with gourmet foods...and hopefully lots of cheap beer, a necessity for bowling anything above 100!

I take that as an insult vado – my husband took me to the Wall Street trading floor for his Christmas party and it was quite entertaining and amusing. Woohoo! I am pictured in the foreground on the left hand-side of the pic next to the guy with the orange jacket. At the moment we were all memorized by the stock prices crashing. Just kidding:)

sloring – when I read your post the first time I thought I read "our office max party..." I thought to myself, wow, we have someone commenting about his party at "Office Max"! But then again, maybe Office Max is superior to a bowling alley? Sorry, it's late and the alcohol is kicking in. Call it the GarwondLer affect:)

FUBAR'D

If you like stout Bridgeport (Oregon) makes a really nice one. HA..I have red wine in a coffee cup on my desk also.

i was drunk but it wore off once i got home and ate a chicharones burrito from cinco de mayo on spulveda and washington...what a waste..seriously

I <3 office parties and my co-workers. Wait - what was that about the awful project I've beenworking on? eh..I can't remember right now.



I guess it worked.

we had our xmas party last night, i was out till one-thirty and completely wasted, was the only person to make it in on time and am one of only two people here.

My partner and I each had a glass of a great big red while figuring out our billable hours last night. I guess that constitutes our "office party"

<sigh> I think I need a real job. With people.

maybe we need a gsa faculty office party!

BUMP
