An Irish Girls Mind.

So the office Christmas Party was last night. It was at the Comfort Inn. Swanson House catered. And it was Bring Your Own Booze.

So I get all dolled up to go mingle with the big wigs and throw on that Irish charm, so I can flirt my way to a promotion.

I walk into the party with my cooler. I looked like a pro-alcoholic. Sure others had alcohol in the form of mini-bottles and had descretly brought them into the party.

But I showed up with a freaking bright blue cooler. Full. On my shoulder like a purse.

So in all the pictures I am holding a beer, while everyone else has thier drinks concealed in a cup.

And if that didnt seal the deal. OH THEN THIS PICTURE DOES.

Ya, I just totally got caught on camera, pounding a beer. At the company Christmas Party. Mom and Dad, I am sorry.

***I really wasnt pounding the beer. We are in a recession, I had to get the very last drop. I cant in good conscience go around wasting beverages. Alcoholic or Non-Alcoholic.****

We played a raffle game. It was rigged. Our big boss Will, went around with a box and randomly selected people to pull out the winning raffle tickets and read the number out loud. If your ticket matched that number, you won. So after watching ten people win and go and select thier prizes, I was like “Will let me pull out of the magic box!”

So he lets me, and when I pull out the winning ticket, I said “And the winner is Jennifer Hogan!!!!!!”

He took my ticket away from me and read the number.

It was rigged.

There was a Christmas Tree in the lobby. Everyone stopped and took a picture in front of this Christmas tree. It was like the Christmas tree was a Magical Mythical Beast, that you had to take your picture in front of or NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE YOU THAT YOU REALLY WITNESSED IT!!!

So I totally had my picture taken with it.

And then the company had thier picture taken with it.

Now just to prove to you, that I wasnt the only one drinking. I may of brought a cooler but Deirdra brought a Blender. So go ahead and judge her too.

And finally, I dont know which picture is going to get me promoted.
Its pretty much a toss up between the pounding the beer picture or this one. Cuz wouldnt you want to wake up and work with this little ray of sunshine, everyday????

Look at my face in the back ground.

All in all it was fun. I had some good laughs and it was nice to see people outside of the work enviroment. But I still think I deserved a door prize. Just saying.
