I've always believed in getting the job done, but a good office atmosphere seemed to make getting the job done so much easier.Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1165861331955054752006-12-11T13:22:00.000-05:002006-12-11T13:22:00.000-05:00At least you get a Holiday party.

It's held in the upstairs conference room, during office hours. No booze allowed.<BR/><BR/>Overall, this company discourages social interaction.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263589773182784104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1165789897942446532006-12-10T17:31:00.000-05:002006-12-10T17:31:00.000-05:00sounds like great fodder for b stories ... :)sounds like great fodder for b stories ... :)oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1165787831182814962006-12-10T16:57:00.000-05:002006-12-10T16:57:00.000-05:00Hi FARfetched.Some of the best company parties I e...Hi FARfetched.<BR/><BR/>Some of the best company parties I ever had was when I was stationed at a Environmental laboratory in Germany. We had a coke fund that made so much money that once a quarter we had to throw a party to get rid of the money. You couldn't go over a certain amount in your coke fund.<BR/><BR/>We did everything from closing the lab for a day to renting out gausthauses for the parties. That was the way back then military. Now of days I couldn't see that happening. The thing I like about there was out of about 25 people we all liked each other and had a great time any time we got together. Offices like that are far and few between.<BR/><BR/>Oh BTW I've finally got my wireless router to work. Don't know how, but it's working. :)Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.com
