Mail Call
So, I am sort of scatterbrained about a few things like checking my mail. I forget to do it for weeks at a time. Apparently, a package arrived for me and it sat in the mailbox package thing for so long that they had to either give it to the office or send it to the post office. (The date on the slip said 11/24, so it couldn’t have been in the box that long.) The slip I got in my mailbox was a little ambiguous. Now I must remember to call the office and determine whether or not there is a package for me. I’m not sure from whom I’d receive a package. I haven’t purchased anything online lately. It’s not *that* close to Christmas that I’d be getting a gift. Weird. I hope I remember to call the office tomorrow.
2007 Company X Holiday Party
Also, when I checked my mail, I found my invitation to the company holiday party. I enjoy the company holiday party. My first one was in 2005. In 2006, I drank a lot of wine and somehow ended up with several people’s gifts. The holiday party was my first exposure to the concept of a “white elephant” gift. I traded my tin of caramel popcorn for the ceramic-barn-yard-animal-to-be-named-later-now-called-URL-the-Yakpot. (the sign announcing the naming contest is vintage 2005.)
Anyhow, the invitation said I need to RSVP to Tammi (hi Tammi!) by November 30th. I suppose that means I need to say if I’m bringing the “and Guest” that my invitation addressed. Problem is, I don’t have a “and Guest.” To my first company holiday party (which I attended when I was still but a lowly–but paid–intern), I brought my best friend, Stacie. To my second company holiday party, I brought myself and no “and Guest.” You know, “they” do say that the third time’s a charm…
So, who should I bring? the party is on December 17th (a Monday) and tends to involve laughter, merriment, yummy food, and free wine and beer. OH and the white elephant gift exchange. OH AND, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART—–the pleasure of my company for the evening. Volunteers?
BRING BRIAN!!!
