work christmas party in 3 hours

[Section_31]

Bah,

Im sitting in my office right now. We have the annual gift exchange and potluck at 11:30 (8:30 now). Im doing my best to stay calm, but i have this cinch around my gut that just seems to get tighter. Cant really focus on any of the tasks i need to get done today.

Im nervous, but more annoyed. My boss is sidestepping this since oneof us has to man the IT support phone. Since that was me last yr hes inisisting i go this yr. Im hoping somewhere a server crashes or somthing important so i have a reason to get out of this.

Heres hoping i dont throw up out of nerves!. I just really dont like theidea of being in a room with 70+ people for 2 or 3 hours...esppecially when they do the goddamn gift draw and the eyes of the world single you out.

FML

Just don't quit. Remember Rocky Balboa: "It's not how hard you can hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward!"

Well if you do go along then you did better than me. Tonight was my work's Xmas party and I didn't even show up at all. Spent the evening at home alone and ordered pizza instead. Feel like a right proper loser but I just wasn't up to it.

 

[Section_31]

id prefer to order pizza personally and be at home. problem is theyre doing this during work hours, and if you dont go then you have the "wrong attitude" as im tol dothers who didnt go were told.

bah. Went through it, i was SO SHAKY througjh the whole thing, hardly ate anything. I wanted to just disapear.

got through it though, and man im so exhausted now. Still have 3 hours left of the workday

 

[Unrequited]

Well done!

The fact that you didn't avoid it shows a lot of courage.

I would have avoided it - always do, and always feel like a real quitter for it. You have a lot of respect from me for facing it.

i just noticed im still jittery, like when you have too much caffiene.

And i just got told to go home for the rest of the day since everyone else is, booyea!

I misread the title of this thread as "worst christmas party in 3 years".

Well done on surviving it though. Enjoy the rest of the day off. Sounds like you've earned it!

Yeah, I know this feeling... It's like an adrenaline from Hell.

I'm going to do some "crazy" thing today too. Going to a restaurant or something.
I hope I can get addict to this tense moods. We just have to push ourselves. There's a paper tiger at the end of the tunnel.
