I ask for an early Christmas gift:

I want a man to go with me to ... a man that will withstand the arduous, insidious, mind boggling torture of:

the Company Christmas Party.

A man that cleans up well. A man that has a modicum of manners. A man that will place his hand on the small of my back and keep the drunk company hound-dog-with-cooties OFF me. A man that will fake interest in my bosses tales of a burgeoning economy. A man that can resist stabbing my co-worker (who eats things on other people's plates without permission) with a fork.

And maybe just one dance? Please?

Is that asking too much?

(Free liquor!)

This is where male friends come in!

I'm bringing my best friend (who's a guy). I brought him last year and he proved quite presentable and stood up nicely to the antics of my wacky eHarmony co-workers!

What am I supposed to post here? I need the same thing, a date for the Christmas party and for New Years...with the same requirements.

Exactly, Winn ... so let's post here. Now, we have a goal. With any luck, we'll get a date and then we can post results.

Christmas party results ...

What could be more bazaar? It would almost make remembering it worth the experience!

What's a date?

And for that matter, what's a Company Christmas Party?!?

Nothing wrong with going to the company Christmas party alone.

I would rather go alone than with someone I did not know well and could potentially embarrass me in front of my boss and coworkers.
