Ghost town
Dec. 22nd, 2006 08:31 amQuiet in the office today - a lot of people took the day off.
It's been an interesting week - every department here has its own party, so I've been dropping in to parties for the last two weeks. They've been fairly impressive, too - people put a lot of effort into cooking. One party last night, for example, had a turkey, a ham, and smocked chicken legs (also, a fondue fountain that kind of exploded, covering everything in a five foot radius in chocolate - I'm not exactly sure what happened there). Another had a red velvet cake which was the crowning glory of a table full of home-baked goodies. There was one that featured mostly soul food, and another with all kinds of interesting spreads with pita and sandwiches and about ten different kinds of cookies. People take their holiday parties seriously around here.
