Company Holiday Party. Ugh.

[MakersDozn]

That would drive us crazy too.

Our department has had an Ugly Sweater party the last couple of years. We went last year, but this year we conveniently had a doctor's appointment, which was rescheduled at the last minute, but we chose to take the afternoon off anyway.

Unwanted socializing already being a given, there's an obvious reason to be turned off by the whole ugly sweater thing. We wouldn't *unintentionally* buy an ugly sweater, so why would we buy one intentionally? Hellooooo?!? And then you're stuck with the thing in your closet....*and* they expect you to come up with another ugly sweater the following year?

*headdesk*

Last year, when we did attend, we wore our Charlie Brown sweatshirt. You know, yellow with the black zigzag stripe near the bottom. Nothing holiday about it. But it's garish enough to technically qualify as ugly.

No more of these parties. We don't need that sh*t.
