Office Christmas Parties
My 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?

Me again... At one of the posh Xmas do's, my ex Tim-Nice-But-Dim boss, sensing that he'd done a completely terrible job of instilling any sense of comraderie or morale between the staff over the course of the year, insisted that we all swap places after every course to get to know other people better. So not only did we have to sit with people we had nothing in common with (including the boss himself with his rotting cheese/meat halitosis), but the waiting staff got really angry because they couldn't keep up with who'd gone where or ordered what. It also meant that you'd end up using cutlery that some other gimp has licked/coughed over/breathed on.
Infuriating.
