The Office Christmas Party

Do you know how much radiation a photocopier gives off ?

Tomorrow is our Office Christmas party and I most certainly am going, although only the "first drink is free" I am sure we of the I.T. department can manage a couple of drinks (Read Rounds) out of the Directors and Senior Managers.

I have read up the "Office Party Do's and Dont's" which are listed below
  1. Don't Drink Too Much
  2. Don't Treat the Office Party Like a Singles Bar
  3. Don't Flirt or Act in a Sexually Provactive Manner
  4. Don't Wear Suggestive Clothing
  5. Don't Let Your Guard Down
  6. Don't Tell Dirty or Off-Color Jokes
  7. Don't Use Foul Language
  8. Don't Talk About People Behind Their Backs
  9. Don't Bring Uninvited Guests
  10. Don't Underestimate the Importance of Your Guest's Behavior
Looks like I'm not going after all, Rules (1) and (5) rule me out.

EDIT :- Recently added by the Cookster, of which I can only account for... erm, all of them
  1. Don't add extra peppers to a colleagues Subway*
  2. Don't fall down the stairs going to the bathroom.
  3. Don't poor Jack Daniels down a colleagues face when he refuses to drink it.
  4. Don't suggest that five pint pitchers of Stella are a good idea.
  5. Don't drink your colleague under the table so that they get off their train to Coventry too soon, end up trying to walk home and fall into a ditch in a park. Then have to call their Father-in-Law to try and find them and get their sorry ass home.
Although Cookster, you forgot.

Don't buy the Director a Cement Mixer and take photos while he drinks it.
Cement Mixer - He no like it

And I forgot...
  1. Don't challenge the Vodka drinking head of the I.T. Department to a Vodka drinking competition, YOU WILL LOSE (If you're lucky, if you're not, see below).

Altogether now.

- Don't fall down the stairs going to the bathroom.

- Don't poor Jack Daniels down a colleagues face when he refuses to drink it.

- Don't suggest that five pint pitchers of Stella are a good idea.

- Don't drink your colleague under the table so that they get off their train to Coventry too soon, end up trying to walk home and fall into a ditch in a park. Then have to call their Father-in-Law to try and find them and get their sorry ass home.

What is even more impressive, is that you managed to do them all in one day/evening!
