today was the annual office-only christmas party aboard the good ship enterprise. we had a nice, catered, family-friendly affair a few days ago, but the office-only party is where all the fun happens. and by fun, i mean gambling.
first, though, we had the obligatory white elephant gift exchange. (oh, that old chestnut!) i never really care what i get at those things. my goal is always just to get rid of something lame that's been cluttering up my house. this year it was a wooden craft of unknown origin. i believe it said something like, "family: our greatest gift." the person who got that should feel lucky indeed. and i feel pretty lucky about my take-home as well.
{i am keeping the foreign coke for sure. the spam, strangely, did not make it home.}
once presents are done it's time to break out the petty cash and go wild. (are you starting to see why this is an office-only affair?) this year it was "crap on your neighbor" and "acey-doocey" or something like that. the important details are that there was lots of hooting and hollering and table pounding and shennanigans, the COO lost everything on a big and ill-advised bet and i came home with all these quarters.
do you have any idea how many diet cokes that will buy me at the sev? and may god bless them, every one.

Let me just say I was excited to see, "Кока Кола" on the Coke can. Oh how we love Mother Russia.
oh the irony of you getting spam :) Congrats!
The best W.E. gift I ever gave was the William Hung CD. People acutally fought over it!
