Work Party...

Another blissful year has come, and of course now has gone. Another Christmas work party (Emery's this year...) is upon us and yet the excitement of catered food, drunk co-workers dancing with festive antlers on top of their heads and hearty slaps on the back just does not do it for us:

Remedy?

Not go?

Of course we have to go... but do we???

Em and I watched 'King Of Queens' the other night (love, LOVE the show) and Doug and Carrie (well, Carrie) commit to a couple of their slightly annoying friends that they will 'ABSOLUTLEY' be at their wedding. Little do they know that the wedding is in Maryland, and they live in NY. They come up with this devious plan, to act as if they are coming (send the acceptance card, pick out their dinner's for the wedding, etc...) and send presents with their friends. They ask their friends to move the food around their plates to make it look like they were there. They also plan on calling the couple and telling them what a great time they had. To make a long story short (1/2 an hour sitcom with 10 min of commercials, not long, but I'll still wrap it up for ya...) it doesn't work out, and they end up going, making it for the Bride and Groom getting in the limo.

So, question...

Will someone move our food around our plates to make it look like we were there tonight?

Thanks. We'll get you back next year...
