More holiday office party etiquette.
Last night, I attended the same office party as Tex. She and I, it turns out, are excellent wingmen, but that is a story for another time.
We had a grand old time watching the crowd (and, with 3000+ people, quite a crowd it is). While Tex focused on the fashion faux pas of the evening (of which there were many), I will focus on another important area: the dance floor.
Again, the men were on their best behavior (well, as far as we could see). Bless the hearts of those white boys who think they can dance (and sing along!) to Rob Base. But I digress.
Ladies: you are not a pussycat doll. In fact, despite your cleavage baring, overexposed, too tight, "holiday" party outfit, you are, in fact, an employee at one of the most respected consulting firms in the country. Get a grip. There is no need to (1) gyrate to "SexyBack" (sexy never left, baby.) (2) throw yourself at the men dancing around you (3) cling to the men dancing around you (4) sing along and gesticulate so, for lack of a better word, hard that you spill your warm Blue Moon all over innocent (compared to you) bystanders.
Overheard on the dance floor (before the real party started): "Man, you look like a million bucks...but that's no different than any other day." Ew.

Having worked for said company (long story of my detective work) and having gone to the party (oh I miss that party), I never saw anything like this when I was there. Pout! I must not have been paying attention. Though the men, as I recall, were worth throwing oneself at...
haha, gotta love a detective. i think i know what (or who) your detective work includes. :-) any friend of the source, though, is a friend of mine.
how long ago did you work here?
and, there was A LOT of eye candy last night.
I was there pushing almost 2 years ago...hoping to be back within the year. :) Love that area and the company.
