Office Christmas Parties

Apologies for not supplying compelling reading to you yesterday but with silly season in full swing I was consumed by offices parties for the day.

The 'Jew' very kindly found me a temping job at her advertising company for December and yesterday was the staff party, now working at a creative company you would assume that all sorts of brilliant ideas would surface for the 'perfect staff day' however a decision was made to go to Ratanga Junction for the day. I wasn't too phased but since 'The Jew' suffers from Vertigo it may not have been the best choice.

On arrival 'The Jew' and I felt very out as the average age of clientele was 13 and we had forgotten to dress in our best Hannah Montana and High School Musical attire.

Remembering Ratanga in its Hay Day I was shocked by the decay, half the rides were closed, most of the restaurants were closed down and the whole place just looked rather dismal and run down. Do they not think that it might be time to just call it a day??

However the day was not lost to Ratanga because when 'The Jew' and I arrived home the company beneath our apartment was throwing a banging party for their staff and kindly invited us to join. I won't get into the juicy details but what I can say is that they mixed all the right ingredients of a good office party, some dancing, some scandal, some embarrassment and a killer headache in the morning!
