So, this year, since I was not in Utah and able to attend the PB Christmas party (seems like that has been the story the past several years, actually), I was in Honolulu and was able to attend theirs instead.
I have to say, it is sooo different than the semi-social bunch at the Murray office. These folks over in Honolulu know how to have a good time. And they did it without alcohol!! That is unusual for the Honolulu office, but it does follow the actual Corporate guidelines to the letter. The guys planning the party didn't know that the guidelines are always ignored for the Christmas party, so they all did without and had fun to boot.
We had dinner;
They passed out door prizes;
We had a contest to see which table of engineers could build the tallest structure out of toothpicks and marshmallows;
We tied for first at 10". (No photo of the structure.) No matter what anyone tried, 10" was as tall as you could build; try to go above that and they just collapsed. Marshmallows make lousy building materials--think marshmallow sidewalks. Scary!
So we had a group karaoke contest to determine the grand champions--we lost!!!
It was a fun party, even if I was by myself.

Looks better than the ones I have attended with you!! Sorry you had to be alone
DAD! You sang karaoke? and i missed it?!?! ahhh
Hard to believe, huh?
Dang I can't believe I missed that! How come we never had any fun parties in the office up in Oregon?
Karaoke? That's it at the next family get together Natalie needs to bring her machine and we will do a little extreme karaoke. Do you think she has any NSYNC or NEWSIES?
Let's not get too carried away here. Just because I did it, does not mean I liked it. Remember the first 187th Ward party!!!
