RE:       Gala Christmas Party



I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!  We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along.  And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM.  Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.  This gathering is only for employees!

Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!

Merry Christmas to you and your family,

Patty

RE:       Gala Holiday Party


In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.  We recognize that  Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.  However, from now on,  we're calling it our "Holiday Party."  The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day.  There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung.  We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.

Happy now?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,

Patty

RE:        Holiday Party

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name.  I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that  reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore.  How am I supposed to handle this?

Somebody?

And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.

REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED..

RE:        Generic Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are!  I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours.  There goes the party!  Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs.  Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy.  Will that work?

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms.

Gays are allowed to sit with each other.  Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table.

Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.

To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms.  Sorry.

We will have booster seats for short people.

Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet.

I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food .  The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first.

There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry!



Did I miss anything?!?!?

Patty

RE:         The F*%^ing Holiday Party



I've had it with you vegetarian pri .. ks!!!  We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes.  But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too..  They scream when you slice them.  I've heard them scream.  I'm hearing them scream right NOW!

The rest of you f*%^ing wierdos can kiss my *ss.  I hope you all have a rotten holiday!

Drive drunk and die,

The B*tch from H*ll!!!

RE:        Patty Lewis and Holiday Party



I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.

In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.

Happy Holidays!

Joan

 :o that's hilarious!

Oh god is this real?!
It started to sound more and more unbelievably funny down the line.

The woman on my team who organised last year's Christmas party for my team spent much of the time slagging off the previous year's Christmas afternoon/night out, which had been organised by yours truly.  Apparently a Christmas late-lunch in a very nice Grill restaurant followed by some drinks in a nearby pub  isn't as festive as spending the night in a crappy overbooked hotel where the overpriced meal consists of two slices of lukewarm turkey and a couple of small carrots, sprouts and potatoes, and the entertainment consists of a crappy DJ.  And the overpriced drinks are lukewarm.

Aforestated cow colleague decided to organise last year's Christmas do, returning to the 'traditional' hotel crapfest.  Which I declined to attend.  Imagine my ironic amusement on hearing that the hotel had sunk to a new low in that not only did the entertainment consist of karaoke, but that almost everyone went down with food poisoning.

Hehe its obvious this isn't real but its funny. We goto a local dive pub; I won't be going because thats the weekend my brother is coming to visit.

Our department is having our own curry night out on Tuesday so that should be good.

Just had mine on Thursday. Went out with the lecturers, ph. D students and undergrads - watching your lecturers pick fights with bouncers is class! Englishmen in Glasgow are an endangered species!

We had a mint night out though; good restaurant followed by a great comedy club followed by Viper, a really studenty place.

Thats great...

That was just too funny!  Nice post   ;D
