No, I don't like parties. Why?

"Hi! Welcome to the tutoring center! Guess what? We're having an office party today! Potluck, bring food.

What do you mean it's the week before finals and you're not in the mood?

What do you mean you loathe parties, office parties most of all?

C'mon, Icarus. Wipe that Snape-ish snarl off your face, stop swearing, bake something, and come 'be entertaining' for an hour or two!

What do you mean you'd rather clean the catbox with your teeth?"

Ugh. My last Holiday party...the-party-that-must-not-be-spoken-of. No good ever comes of those things. ;-D

Why do we do this? Is there anyone who enjoys these things? Is it something started by A Christmas Carol, whereas all bosses feel like Scrooges if they don't inflict a holiday party on us? Screw the party -- give us a paid day off so we can get some of our shopping done. Decorate the place in blinking, happy lights and put out chocolates for a month. Now that is Christmas spirit.

I can never understand 'enforced intimacy' but every company does it and you end bored, upset or angry by the time you're allowed to escape. And you can't even allow yourself to get really, really drunk or else who knows what would come out of your mouth (been there, done that). :-D
