Well that was lame...

Company X had their big holiday bash on Thursday night. What a waste of time and money! 3 parties ago, the food was actually good. Then they moved the party to a different location last year and the food was barely edible. They had the same location this year and supposedly new catering. The food was on par with the stuff you would buy at Costco and pop in the oven. They had huge lines of people waiting at each station as usual. So, you would wait in line forever, get a sampling of whatever was in that section, take a bite of each, decide it wasn't worth the calories and move on to the next line. Even the desserts sucked. They also do not serve liquor, which makes it a total loss. You can only drink so much shitty wine with crappy food before you want to puke. The thing that really gets me is how much people talk up this party. They act like it is the most amazing display ever. Either they have never been anywhere else, or it proves my point further that I do not belong working with these people. One of these things is not like the others... Anyway, so many people were talking about how fantastic the party was. I found it to be a waste of perfectly good makeup and heels. The one good thing was that I didn't run into any of the dipshits on my team, so that was good. Needless to say, I'm not going back to Company X's next extravaganza. I would prefer that they just took the money and gave us the cash equivalent. Even if it ended up being $20 each, that would be better than the party. My mom's work gives them a grocery store gift card. I'd be happy with that. Then I could buy some food and make something that didn't taste like shit. They could also just take the money and donate it to charity. Basically anything would be better than their lame ass parties. Now my old company, they knew how to throw a holiday party. That is probably why they are not in business anymore.
