The Office Holiday Party: Food, Drinks and ... Sex?
Fox News ^ | 12/11/07 | Dr. Yvonne K. Fulbright

They’re baaaaack! You know what I’m talking about — the swarm of advice-minded blogs and articles that inundate the Internet every December, dishing out the dos and don’ts of the infamous office holiday party.

While overall fete etiquette is the aim of many, we’re going to get right to the juicy stuff.

To hook up or not hook up at the office party, that’s the question – and a not so easy one for that matter.

The office holiday party provides the seemingly perfect opportunity to get a little closer with somebody who has been, up until that point, eye candy.

Well-groomed and well-dressed, many colleagues can have us focusing on a bit more than work during business meetings, water cooler breaks, and random Xerox machine meetings. And given that we spend so much time with our co-workers — getting to know some of them better than many of the people in our personal lives — familiarity, camaraderie, and simple hours spent together can breed desire.

I couldn't resist posting one more:

ELAINE: Cocktail flu.

JERRY: (Remembering) Oh, right. The big party..

GEORGE: You, uh, didn't dance again, did you?

ELAINE: (Angered) No, I found a better way to humiliate myself. There was this guy, and we had a few too many..

GEORGE: You went home with him?

ELAINE: Worse. We made out at the table like our plane was going down!

JERRY: (Rubbing it in) Ah, the drunken make-out. An office classic. Did you end up xeroxing anything?

BTW, Cagey in your post #46, I've seen drunk co-workers dance very similar to that. I love when people who normally can't dance and wouldn't step foot on the dance floor all of the sudden think they can dance after a few cocktails. It's a hoot.

The right buzzword can work miracles in this crazy world we live in!

Yes they can. I'm glad your young daughter stuck up for herself. She learned a good life lesson right there.

(although I really wanted to use the baseball bat!)

Of course you wanted to you're her mother. My mom would've felt the same if that happened to me at 16. It's a mom thing ;)

Cashmere sweaters can make bad Christmas gifts.

“...I always find the best time not to drink is during office Christmas parties. You get to watch all of your co-workers get blitzed and make jackasses out of themselves.

It’s free entertainment for all.”

AND could be profitable if you take photos or video.

Lines like that are what made that show so funny.
