Went to the office party last night. Made sure to show up later than usual, although that meant that Maxx couldn't get us drinks before the bar closed for the pre-dinner speeches and videos, etc. Once they started sending tables to the buffet he zipped off and got our drinks, and the dinner was yummy as usual ... but when I went back for seconds there was a decidedly smaller amount of food left to choose from ... the mashed potatoes were all gone! Visited the desert room and had a slice of spice cake and a piece of black forest cake, then we packed it in and left as my back was sooooo not happy! I think a big part of it was trying to twist and went my way between tables/chairs/people to get from our table to the buffet and back.
Maxx was saying maybe we won't go next year, but I reminded him that it's a free meal, and some folks did win some great prizes (biggest was a 42 inch plasma screen tv and Shaw Gateway, there were also a Gateway by itself, two iPads, two digital cameras, and a $200 gift certificate for a local spa). It was nice to see folks all dressed up, too ... although I feel jealous of so many of the beautiful ladies who work with us!
