OT 17: WELCOME TO THE CORONADOME!

[Johnny_P]

Finally found out the real reason they want me down there. Holiday party and white elephant gift exchange.

And they're all super Christians with no sense of humor so a big black dildo isn't in the cards. Ugh.

Or is that exactly what is needed?

I wonder how many dildos the TSA guys on the X-ray machines see a day.

"too many" and "not enough" at the same time.

Lisa got me a whisky glass that was re-purposed from an old coke bottle and reformed. I love the thing. I could do a set of 2 of those I guess? They're made local, but the dudes aren't open during the week, and I'm not around this weekend.

What is appropriate for this?
Like... a succulent in a handmade pot or something? Or a framed print? Or a box of Cards Against Humanity? Or?

the goal is to get something fun that every one will want. it's like a werid trading game. Lottery tickets/ scratch offs are always popular.

Sadly I have no idea what these people want. I've done white elephant exchanges before but never in a work setting, it's always been in a friends setting in which case turbans, dildos, etc are expected and encouraged.

Maybe dogs are different than people, but I think movies lie about closing dead people’s eyes. His eyes were open when he passed, and I kept trying to pull his eyelids shut afterwards, but they just kept popping back open.

Sorry man, that sucks that it happened. I know it doesn't feel good right now, but later you'll be glad that you got to be there with him before he was gone.

Yeah I’m glad we were there and it didn’t happen while he was home and alone.

Bah.

Rich white people really like their Yeti cups.

[D Griff]

Also that they insist on flying you out there just for the holiday party... talk about

When I was at SOlid State Logic I practically had to beg for them to fly me up and put me up in NYC to go and I only got to once or twice out of five years there.

Thought about that. Not a bad idea. I think most of them have Yeti cups already.

I guess? I’m not mad about it at all. Wish they were a little more up front about the reasons to go. But whatever. They are good people, they just don’t think everything through.

Just came back from a company dinner at a restaurant. The table shared crab cakes and calamari. I had lamb chops, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and mashed potatoes. Drank an Old Fashioned and a couple glasses of spendy Chianti.

that holiday dinner tho. I used to like those.

I got sick off something yesterday. I was cleaning the basement and my stomach started to feel really strange. Then it was out my butt. Pooped my pants running to the bathroom. Spent the next hour on the toilet purging absolutely everything. It was horrible.
