    Xmas party…went to ours last year. My company paid for flights, hotel, and car rental for the wife and I. It’s one of the things I enjoy about working for a smaller company. They treat me well when I ask for it.
    Last bonus check before this one (September) they said - we can do the taxes and code it as xyz or I can just give you the check (I think this one was around 4-5k?) and u figure out ur taxes when it’s time. Sold.
    No xmas party this year- fortunately. I think they finally figured out spending $15k on a hotel ballroom, catered food, bar and then expenses of hotels, flights, cars etc for anyone needing/wanting one wasn’t worth it
    Last year at the party, was the first time I sat at a bar, in front of my favorite beer (New Belgium, Voodoo) on tap so the wife can enjoy herself with her drinks.

    Not for X-mas but when my wife worked for the airlines, they had a yearly thing they called the ACE awards where they held a big corporate thing for top employees from around the country. They would fly us out to their HQ in Ft. Worth and do the whole fancy ass dinner and awards thingy. I hated it for many different reasons- I hate people. I hate getting dressed up, I hate having to play nice. I hate corporate BS. I hate listening to speeches, etc.

    Ours was always 2 drink tickets, then buy your own. Thus the sneaking in of personal stuff...

    Well what was just gonna be some cutting to run power in my wooden floors from the wall, I’ve now also decided to add more power above some cabinets for more led lighting and a spot to move my interior camera so get more windows / back door coverage. Guess I need to go to HD to get a few things :(:D

    Not worth it unfortunately.

    They paved the gravel “trailer parking” lot on the west side and now it’s a pay lot with 6 trailer spots that appear dedicated to buses.

    Should have gotten there at 10:30, but we were in traffic from the drop out of Blewett Pass. Didn’t park until 11am. I legit started driving down the center turn lane b/c fuktrds were stopped 3 deep to turn into parking lots that had “Full” signs out.

    The crowds were not too bad in town thankfully. Unfortunately the pretzel was dry and over cooked. My two brauts were uninspiring too.

    Stopped at our fav coffee shop there in the middle of town. Stood for 10min and they helped exactly one group ahead of us in line. Wife looked and me and we left.

    Dropped two bills at Cured getting Christmas dinner. Probably the last $ we spend there. Even in the summer, with trailer parking gone there’s no reason to stop.

    My company Christmas party started about 8 minutes ago. I am not attending because I am working. Even when I had the days off I never attend. I'm here to make money to live my life elsewhere. If you're not paying me, I'm not talking to you. I don't put it that bluntly when I pass, because I like my job, but that's the core of it.

    I'm on the forum voluntarily because I enjoy the people here. My statement was purely directed at my past, present, and future employers. I do not get a job for the social aspect of it. It's transactional. They pay me and I get screwed. Basically, I'm a hooker. It's why @Azblue thinks I'm so cool.

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    sage words. Transactional

    in my 30 or so years of “work”, I work for $

    I don’t work for friendship

    the few folks I fraternize with are NOT from my work history

    they are all neighbors or high school buddies

    I won’t even eat biz lunch with salespeople or vendors. Breaking bread is special to me

    I’ll only eat biz lunch with my biz partners.


    It was a damn tough day when I realized nobody cares

    Now it’s all family centric. And life is good




    Except for these damn herons

    I came across this the other day and thought about the retiree’s talk here.
    There was an article I read (maybe 20 years ago) where every year worked past 65 shortened your life an equivalent amount. Probably fictional but food for thought. I’ve been retired for awhile. When my older brother passed a couple years ago, that was a shock.

    Today is one of those days the wife and I are on different planets.

    Go to a grocery store and I say lets walk the aisle. She agrees. And then darts across the store in the opposite direction.

    After getting back on task, she remembers we need peppers and heads back to produce. Daughter and I wait on aisle 4. Wife then legit walks aisles 2-3 (again!) before turning onto 4.

    At this point I take over pushing the cart and tell them just follow the cart. I haven’t had a nicotine craving for decades and I had one by aisle 5.

    Liquor store and Home Depot were fine b/c I pushed the cart and stopped asking questions. I just made decisions.

    Next, I need you to use your imagination. Say your spouse walked you into your favorite store and said “Pick out whatever you want”. Imagine the awesome.

    My wife’s favorite store is a fancy cooking store in town. I green light it b/c I am short two presents for Christmas. She immediately turns to the section with glassware (which she just bought online a few months ago) and shit like cloth napkins and crap. I walk off cuz I’ve had it by then. She eventually shows up with four wood spoons and a goofy tool for her mom’s stocking.

    Maybe I will work the holiday.
