I’m still digging out at work and I just came across something funny. Our company doesn’t do a big company holiday party for the usual bullcrap PC reasons. As a compromise, they have been doing an annual event in the fall that is basically the equivalent to a holiday party. Last year, even the fall event was pre-empted because they spent boo-coo bucks on a party in the summer time to celebrate a significant anniversary. I missed the summer party (I had concert tickets for one of my favorite bands) but apparently it was a big hit. So they’ve decided to do a similar thing again this year. On the little flyer that was circulated to get people to sign up, they have the following question:
We would prefer to
___ purchase food at the event
___ bring our own food
Huh? Where’s the option where they’re going to feed me? Is that too much to ask?
