The company had our holiday party on Wednesday night at a local museum. I almost didn't go. There are only a hand-full of people in the office that I even like and none of them really that much. But so many people asked me if I was going that I figured I better make an appearance. It was just as dull as I had imagined it would be. Here were some of the fascinating conversations that went on:
1. Early morning traffic incident involving a great dane, a woman in pajamas, the start of the morning shift at the plant, and an embankment. (This was the most interesting story, but not after the 4th time I heard it.)
2. The successes and failures of the women in the office in their attempts to have children. (Reactions to my announcement that I didn't want kids ranged from "Don't you feel like you'll have a void in your life?" to "Good for you!")
3. The buffet offerings. Various cheeses and fancy hors d'ouvres (can't spell.) This led to another discussion about-
4. The makeup and uses of hummus (spelling?).
5. The county population boom and it's traffic ramifications. (40 minute discussion.)
6. The fact that even though I've worked for the company for over 5 years, no one in the office has any idea who I am because I've been working from home for the last 2 years, then when I came back in the office no one bothered introducing me to anyone because they assumed I already knew everyone, when in fact everyone was new to me. Even after this discussion, I'm pretty sure they still don't know who I am. Whatever, they'll be gone in 3 months anyway.
I hope I didn't look as bored as I felt. At least it's over until next year, right?
