Yours truly, the Grinch.. is stuck trying to orchestrate another company Christmas party. I did it last year and it went ok. Too many people wanting too many different things etc. Can't please them all. Last year I started looking for places early in October and most of them were booked for all of December. We ended up with a banquet room at a local pub / restaurant.
The office gets $450 for this adventure, last year we ended up having to pay like $10 a person on top of it.
I got handed this on Friday at 5 PM. I'm in the office again helping train the new secretary and the boss informed us that our Ops Manager is demanding some type of party. We have an employee that has been with us for 30 years. He's being given a ring and a check for $2500 so it has to be somewhat nice of a surrounding.
At this point, I know we're not going to be able to get a decent banquet room. We're kinda kicking around the idea of Hoss's or something. Just a luncheon at a semi decent restaurant.
Does anyone have any other ideas ? Do we know why a person who hates Christmas as much as I do gets stuck with this crap ?

A parking lot, 12 bottles of JD, and one of them big inflatable Frosty's sounds aboot right to me.
Seriously, if the "Ops manager" is DEMANDING a party, tell him to do it himself. He sounds like a jerk anyways.

The reason is because you've done it before and didn't object, so you might as well be stuck with it again.

The reason is because you've done it before and didn't object, so you might as well be stuck with it again. I most certainly did object last year. I b****ed and moaned about it the whole 2 months leading up to it and flat out told them I was never doing it again. That SOB better give me one hellova raise to do all this. At least he's fighting to keep me in his district with the re-allignment. Hehehe.. I can continue getting away with murder ;D

Tell the Ops Manager that you've converted to a religion that doesn't celebrate Christmas and in planning a party that does so offends you and goes against your newfound religious beliefs. ;D

Hire Stoke to jump out of a cake. He works cheap, and has a better physique than Big Dick Johnson.
