The one time a year I dress up to make small talk.


Ah, the annual work holiday party.  Yeesh, this thing gives me a whopping case of the stress outs.  I usually have to secure the babysitter, find something appropriate to wear, get myself looking presentable and get myself over to the party location.  THEN I get to spend a couple of hours making small talk and feeling like a jerk when I cannot remember who I've met previously and who I haven't.

Basically, it is awesome.  

Will gives a great run down of how the company is doing.  I always like hearing that.  However, this past year has been full of more challenges than successes so I wasn't super psyched to hear the speech this year.  He still did a great job with the speech and hopefully 2016 will be full of more successes than challenges.

                                             

After Will gives his speech there is usually a few fun games and white elephant style gift exchanges led by Dave.  One of the games was to pass your phone around the table and take a selfie with everyone's phone.  These were the pictures on my phone:

   

You can see, we sat with some awesome people.

We did some more small talk and then danced for a while.  It was a lovely party.
