Office Christmas PartiesMy office this year is having Christmas lunch. In the office. On some desks we are going to clear the monitors off. The computers underneath will keep running as we are behind on some deadlines and need to keep rendering.
OK, so some people aren't getting anything, but how Scrooge-like are your bosses when it comes to Christmas?

No humbugs here...I guess ill delurk merely because its my xmas party on monday.
Its actually a half decent one, held in the club i work in (behind bar), free food, entry and all that jazz. Whilst being a nosy bastard and snooping around the boss's office, i stumbled upon the drinks prices-virtually everything £1 or £1.50 a drink, not bad. They offered us double time for bar staff to work it, but im much happier to go and get plastered.
However, this pales in comparison the the end of (academic) year party they throw. Where they bring in 25+ crates of beer, plus anything in the cellar likely to go rancid over the summer, sit us in the bar with free chilli (plus the inevitable people turning up with drugs of choice), and leave us to it. I stumbled home at 9.45, having to move out of my halls by 10.00 that morning.
Then again, we damn well deserve it (and better), because its the bars we work our asses off on that make ours the best Student's Union in the country.
