Back when I had an “office” job, Christmas parties were great, mainly because that was a bit of time we weren’t working. And there was food. Then one year the boss decided that anyone who wasn’t actively working had to clock out for the party. There were only two of us at the party, the two who were legally logged on those hours. And therefore, only two of us brought food -the rest of the staff clocked out and left. The moral of the story is that people who aren’t paid to be there would rather spend their time with people of their own choosing. This skit from SNL is a bit of a fantasy, as jobs are too precarious these days for anyone to actually let their hair down during an office party. -via Viral Viral Videos
