Holiday fun!

[jethrien]

We had our office holiday party last night. Swanky, trendy Thai restaurant followed by swanky, trendy hotel bar. Much fun. Much freezing - I swear, the restaurant was 50 degrees. They claimed that the thermostat was up to 85, but I think they were just losing all their heat through the pretty frosted glass ceiling...

That sounds like such fun! I wish my workplace did things like that. I was hoping that once I started working in the "real world" I'd find out about office holiday parties and things like that, but no such luck. Perhaps I should have gone into a more social science... :P

It was a lot of fun. Nice to socialize with my coworkers - they're a pretty cool bunch of people.

I think some of it is that I'm in finance, working with a bunch of finance and sales people. It's a field that's much more about affluence and sociability and the perception of affluence and sociability. We're also small enough that it's not ridiculously expensive to have the entire company sit down at one (long) table in a restaurant and pass around Secret Santa gifts and then go hang out at a bar afterwards.
