Officeland II’s Holiday Lunch Day

Today is the big day in Officeland II:  the holiday luncheon.

People take this stuff very seriously around here.  There are foods and deserts for days in the large conference room, a catering truck just brought in a slew of other foodstuffs and the colors, red and green are holding sway over all .

Day before yesterday I went to Officeland IIB’s holiday luncheon and it was a nice small affair, very similar to the ones we had back in Old Original Officeland (god rest it’s soul).  It was also very nice to see the old faces again.

Up here it is more of an “event”.

I hate “events”.

As I was driving into work this morning, I realized that I had not brought in a contribution to the fete.  Thank god for Dunkin’ Donuts - I got two dozen lard-filled pastries and added them to the desert table.

I will probably end up making  a little plate of food for myself and bringing it back to my desk so I can eat and read the paper in peace.  Does that make me anti social?  Too bad if it does.

Anyway we are coming up my favorite weeks of the work year; the week prior to vacation when everything one does has that feeling that one is “closing up the books for a year” - or something like that.  I can’t wait, after next Friday, I will not be here until January 3rd.  Yee Haw!

But for now, work calls.

Hope you all are having a festive day!!
