Sometimes it's the best room in my house. It's quiet, my computer is out there and I can fall asleep in a comfortable chair if I choose or listen to music without interruption. Everyone here knows where to find me, In My Garage.

FW: The Company Party

Company Memo




FROM:    Patty Lewis, Human Resources  Director
TO:        All  Employees
DATE:    October 1, 2008
RE:         Gala Christmas Party



I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will  take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function  room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!   We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...feel free to sing  along.  And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa  Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM.  Exchanges of gifts  among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over  $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.  This  gathering is only for employees!
Our CEO will make a special  announcement at that time!


Merry Christmas to you and  your family,
Patty

RE:         Gala Holiday  Party


In no way was yesterday's  memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.  We recognize that  Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas,  though unfortunately not this year.  However, from now on, we're  calling it our "Holiday Party."  The same policy applies to any other  employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating  Reconciliation Day.  There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas  carols will be sung.  We will have other types of music for your  enjoyment.


Happy  now?


Happy Holidays to you and your  family,
Patty

RE:         Holiday Party

Regarding the note I received  from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you  didn't sign your name.  I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I  put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous  anymore.  How am I supposed to handle this?   Somebody?

 

And sorry, but forget about  the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that  $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little  chintzy.
 

REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE  ALLOWED.

RE:         Generic Holiday Party

 

What a diverse group we are!   I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids  eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party!   Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does  not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs.  Perhaps the Grill House  can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package  everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy.  Will  that work?
 

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit  farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table  closest to the restrooms.
Gays are allowed to sit with each other.   


  
 

Lesbians do not have to sit  with Gay men; each group will have their own table.
Yes, there will  be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.

 

To the person asking  permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be  allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms.  Sorry.
 

We will have booster seats  for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a  diet.
 

I am  sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food.   The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a  bite first. There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics,  but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts.  Sorry!

Did I miss  anything?!?!?
Patty

RE:        The F*%^ing Holiday  Party

 

I've had it with you  vegetarian pricks!!!  We're going to keep this party at the Grill House  whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest  from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your  f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes.  But you know, tomatoes  have feelings, too.  They scream when you slice them.  I've heard  them scream.  I'm hearing them scream right  NOW!
 

The rest of you f*%^ing  wierdos can kiss my *ss.  I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive  drunk and die,
 

The  B*tch from H*ll!!!

RE:       Patty Lewis and Holiday  Party

 

I'm sure I speak for all of  us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward  your cards to her.
 

In the meantime, management  has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of  the 23rd off with full pay.  
 

Happy Holidays!
Joan

About Me

I am married; 5 kids and 7 grandkids. We traveled alot while I was growing up. Life as a kid was a combination of The Sand Lot, Stand By Me, Radio Flyer and American Graffiti. After high school we moved to Silverton, OR where I met Jean on August 10th, 1970. We married in 1971 and have been most happy together ever since. We started having kids right away. We lived in a commune for awhile in the seventies. I went to college, worked in construction and deconstruction, worked as a taxi driver, bus driver, school bus driver, truck driver, warehouse manager, food service cook, cannery worker, certified medical aide, direct care and indirect care, recreation therapist, girls softball coach, soccer coach, Special Olympics coach for basketball and bowling. I have done some acting and singing. I have worked on March-of-dimes campaigns. I was union steward and shift supervisor. My art work is developing. I am hoping to spend a lot more time in that area of my life. Staying healthy and active these days.
