Outstanding.  Could retire on income from blackmail if I didn't like everyone I work with.

Best Gift:  Shake weight...  For women only

Is this because Jim Romer talked about this today?

But I do enjoy these.

Must be nice to work in a company that cares about its employees enough for holiday shenanigans

i don't want to hang out with the people i work with for the 8 hours per day that i have to.  i can't imagine voluntarily going somewhere after hours and pretending to have fun by getting drunk with them.  pass.

Sorry the people you work with suck.  It's pretty cool to work with people you like.

if you really like the people you work w/ and want to hang out and drink with them then you are under thirty. that's not a bad thing or anything. under thirty you like who you work w/ and want to drink and hang out. older than thirty, you don't. clams must be older than thirty and crushnasty and pendergast are obviously younger than thirty.

interacting with my gf's friends and acquaintances basically takes all the social energy i can muster and then some.  there's just no room for friends or acquaintances of my own.  30+

is there a weirder food than the potato?

mashed taters- really like them.
baked- not so much
french fries- really good
tater tots- even better
hash browns- probably best of all (the long stringy kind and not the cubed square kind)

hash browns.  love them.  very hard to cook well at home though. 

mashed- great, love to mix with corn.
baked- great, love the loaded potato at houston's.
french fries- meh, they're ok.  the new ones at wendys are pretty good.
tater tots- great, texas star w/ the belly bomb, side of white gravy to dip the tots in. 
hash browns- great, i like them o'brian style w/ a little onion and bell pepper.  cooked in butter until crispy.

I've been pretty fortunate with office holiday parties. Last job had them at the Georgetown Four Seasons (once saw Michael Dougles/Catherine Zeta Jones in lobby  :excited:). Current job had ours at the Kogod Courtyard. Open bar, but no hashbrowns.

true daris story #4 (un-dr.loves related)- was a very picky eater when i was little. family would have corn and potatoes all the time growing up and i hated them both. older sister told me to mix them together. boom, rest is history. love this as well. true case where two wrongs do equal a wright. what's that? right in my belly goes the corn and potato mix. that's what she said. whooowaaa.
