“At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.” - Ann Landers

Last night was our annual work Christmas dinner. I think it should be the annual New Year dinner, however, since it has been held in January two years in a row now, which is the entire life of the office.

The negatives:

- It was on a Thursday night.

- Significant others were not invited so John ate spaghetti at home.  

- The tiramisu wasn’t great.  

- There was no photo booth with feather boas and sailor hats like the company party in Seattle.  

The positives:

- My caprese salad appetizer was super yummy. 

- It was within walking distance of my apartment, so I got to have more wine and more fun than anybody else. But I didn't have too much fun. Fine line at work functions. 

- I got to sit next to Britney. 

- The restaurant made the people at our table who ordered a certain meat dish wear paper bibs. With bowties drawn on them. 

- I did not order the bib meat.
