Quality company time

Office "Holiday" Party tonight. So I took the afternoon off. Not that simple to attend this event - leave town, run some errands, go home, take care of household things, light bit to eat (only hors d'oeuvres at the event) Carol and I dress up, drive back to town then back home again. This takes place at a hotel so there were discounted rooms available but I wasn't interested in the extra time to kennel the dog, a drive itself to and from twice. That said it should be a good time. Smooching with fellow employees with drinks in hand (cash bar). If only we could do that during office hours - those were the good old days.
