23 Rules of the Office Holiday Party (WSJ)

A little late here, but funny nonetheless:

1. There are two types of company holiday parties. There are company holiday parties in which employees bring their spouses or significant others and perhaps their adorable little kids, and then there are the company holiday parties in which employees typically go alone. Friends and family parties end promptly at 9 p.m. and everyone gets home safely. Employees-only company parties usually last 36 hours and result in at least six people being reported as missing.

2. It's OK to be the first person at the company holiday party. Just don't be the last person at the company holiday party.

3. For the last time: that little pastry hors d'oeuvre being passed around on a tray? It's stuffed with cheese and mushroom. You've been going to the same company holiday party for the past seven years and it's always been cheese and mushroom. Stop asking.

9. If you work in a company with an art department, just know the people in the art department have more fun than anybody. They have expensive haircuts and cooler shoes, and after the company party, they're going to a better party, and you're absolutely not invited.

I work in the art department! If only this were true...

Actually, for one of the artists, I'll be it is. He's a young hipster and keeps the rest of us up on the hip lingo the kids are using these days.

It's always good to Be In The Loop...I hate to say it, but I started losing touch with cool stuff in the 80s! MMOs excepted, of course
