For many people who plug away in corporate America, the year-end party is their one chance to let their hair down with co-workers.

Tis the season to get HAMMERED!!!!

".... 23 percent of men and 14 percent of women have "morning-after" regrets, according to the Match.com survey."

No comment.

[Jimmyclyde]

That secretary looked real cute after your 12th beer, right?

Meanwhile, 72% of men polled said they scored at Christmas office parties, while only 18% of women said they were poled.

A great deal of flirting has nothing to do with romance or sex; it has to do with charming people into enjoying working with you and having a good, friendly relationship

"I wasn't flirting with that cutie from marketing, dear. I was merely charming her into enjoying working wth me and having a good, friendly relationship."

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

Company Christmas party is tonight!
Will be taking my spouse along as I always do...

[Pablo64]

Beer goggles and mistletoe. What a combination. LOL!

[wordsofearnest]

Maybe the same women were poled four times.

Ick, just ick. Diddling the help is a hobby fraught with hazards (she knows where you work). Work is the worst place in the world to date - there's no escape for you unless you find another job.

I'm not crazy about the idea of alcohol at office Christmas parties either. Just too many ways to trip over your **** and tell the boss what you REALLY think.

I don't like alcohol at office parties because the maintenance crew has to spend a week cleaning up stains in the carpet and repairing holes in the walls. One year we had to replace an entire exterior door-frame.

Note to self, don't do 15 shots of Jagermester.

Funny, but one could say the same thing about the so-called news media...

One of lifes lessons: Don't get your meat where you get your bread.

Note to self:

Don't dunk your donut in the company coffee.

Don't dip your pen in the company inkwell.

Holland advises against antics that could compromise credibility — including dressing in an overly provocative way.

I’ve never understood that. We had one female that was built like a young Anna Nicole. She’d wear the lowest cut blouses and tightest, shortest skirts you have ever seen. I’m telling you that she could literally not sit in a chair unless she had a jacket to put over her lap/legs. I bet if you had a pin you could pop her skirt like a balloon. Any time she’d walk across the room she had to constantly fiddle with it to keep it pulled down.

Another had a black pantsuit-type outfit that was made out of some sort of sheer see-thru material. I’m not talking about something you could see through if you happened to catch her back-lit standing in front of a window or something – I’m talking about material like those gauzy see-thru curtains are made of.

I have to question the mental health of someone that wears stuff like that to work. It’s fine for eye-candy though. And in their defense, they were probably only 19 or 20 years old so I guess it’s good that they get it out of their system while they’re still young enough to wear it.
