Christmas do at work

[EternalOptimist]

Anyone planning to go to the christamas do with the permies ? I just got invited and it sounds real fun, but I had my fingers burned too many times over the years.
I shall have to politely decline

Don't play with fireworks.

I'm on holiday for the client do here, which is a shame.

Most of the "client" staff are other contractors anyway, so would have gone, but I'm not coming back for it when I'm long finished by then...

I've just been invited - of all the xmas parties for all the places I've worked at this is one not to be missed.

Contractors not invited

Which is a good thing becuase all it will be is most of the non clothing department (1000 guys) trying to bag themselves a chick from clothing (1000 chicks). Mainly becuase there are so many foxy people from clothing (you would..i mean you really would) and so many fugly people from non clothing.

Meanwhile the 1000 smokin' chicks from clothing are going to try and bag themselves a promotion with the directors.

Its going to be car crash funny....but even funnier just to see the aftermath the day after.

Just think - if it was 999 from non-clothing and 1000 from clothing, then there's be a spare for you.

I've been invited to a Christmas lunch. Get this for stingey: it seems the permies have to pay for it themselves on the day, and can then put it an expense claim for up to £20 each to recoup some of the cost.

Obviously I'd be paying for it myself. I'm probably going to go anyway; I'll be on a daily rate by then so it's a good excuse for a long lunch break.
