RE: Christmas Party

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place
on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the
Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!

We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...please feel free to
sing along.

Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time;
however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts
easy for everyone's pockets.

This gathering is only for employees! The Managing Director will make a
special announcement at the Party.

Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

Pauline

RE: Holiday Party

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides
with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on
we're calling it our 'Holiday Party'. The same policy applies to any
other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree
or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your
enjoyment.

Happy now?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,

Pauline.

RE: Holiday Party

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous
requesting a non-drinking table... you didn't sign your name. I'm happy
to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads,
"AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!!!! How am I supposed to
handle this? Somebody? Forget about the gift exchange. No gift exchange
allowed now since the Union officials feel that $10.00 is too much money
and Management believe $10.00 is a little cheap.

NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE Allowed.

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during
daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a
luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees'
beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal
until the end of the party - or else package everything up for you to
take home in a little foil doggy bag. Will that work?

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest
from the dessert buffet; pregnant women will get the table closest to the
toilets; Gays are allowed to sit with each other; Lesbians do not have to
sit with gay men; each will have their own table. Yes, there will be
flower arrangements for the gay men's table, too. To the person asking
permission to cross dress - no cross dressing allowed.

We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be
available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the
food. We suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food
first.

There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics; the restaurant
cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorry!

Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?!

Pauline.

RE: The ******** Holiday Party.


Vegetarian pricks! I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep
this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit
quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death", as you so
quaintly put it. You'll get your ******* salad bar, including organic
tomatoes, but you know tomatoes have feeling, too. They scream when you
slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!!
Hope you all have a rotten holiday ! Drink, drive, and die!

The Bitch from HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Pauline Lewis and Holiday Party

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy
recovery, and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.

In the meantime, Management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and
instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd December off with full
pay

@Silverchild79,
Sounds about right.
Our company party was last week and the Office Administrator ( read secretary ) decided we needed some class. Our party was held in a lounge/bar at the Hilton of the Americas in downtown Houston, rather than at the warehouse as usual.
Fine, but #1 it IS downtown bear the convention center and the Rockets new arena, so parking cost $10 for anything over 2 hours! I resent that. The lounge was nice, but we didn't have it to ourselves, rather we had a small corner with just a few seats, and some finger foods now and then that they constantly ran out of. Of course everyone had to dress up quite a bit. Another thing I don't care for- artificial appearances just for show, in my opinion, jeans and a clean shirt are fine for me.
At one time, one of the owners of the company and I were standing together talking and he asked me how I liked the party. I must have given him a clue by my expression, because he then said- " I like the warehouse better!" This from a millionaire at that.
I bet the company spent a lot more throwing that party than they did at the warehouse with barbecue, beer, and wine supplied by the company, instead of an open bar at a fancy lounge in a fancy hotel downtown.


OK , rant over!

@Silverchild79,
we still have a Christmas party

honestly all the hoop-la over the war on Christmas is great fun.

You mean Christmas, my favorite holiday, is also now politically incorrect and abrasive?

******* sweat dude!!
