I am spoiled even though my job sucks. Lois, not-my-boss-anymore, takes the office out to some fancy NOLA restaurant. This year we are going to Longway Tavern, which won some award or something. But there is only 5 of us in the whole office.
Lol, my old supervisor use to do this when I worked at the remote office. Even working at the remote office we would get emails and pictures from the big potluck at the corporate office. I was working in Baton Rouge and getting these emails about the potluck going on in Houston.
All that to say, he'd pick out a nice seafood restaurant and take us there for lunch when corporate was doing their potluck. He'd even let us drink and let us go home early that day. Best supervisor ever.
Must be a Louisiana thing.
We don't go home early usually but our lunches are super long and we come back to the office and fuck off the rest of the day. I think since we are going on the 21st and most of us are out until after the new year, we might get let go early. Luckily my time clock is on my phone and my boss is in New York.
This is the first job that has taken me out for holidays but Lois is super NOLA so maybe it is a Louisiana thing?
My hubby works from home for a company based out of Michigan. Every Friday afternoon a department at the home office sponsors a drink cart and it goes around and everyone gets to drink. Every Friday morning he gets an email saying something like "Sales has Moscow Mule's for everyone!" or "Engineering is bringing around sangria later, hope you're thirsty!". It pisses him off so much lol.

I don't even drink and that would piss me off too.
Are work potlucks ever good? I haven't experienced anything I actually want to eat or enjoy at a potluck in many years. I thought I got out of participating in mine this year, but my well meaning co-worker brought me a plate anyway. I just don't trust lay-people enough to not give me food borne illness between preparing food and then having it sit around for hours and hours. Now I need to find a discreet way to dump it in the trash.

Normally our potluck has a lot of caterer prepared main dishes and then employee prepared side dishes. I normally participate by way of throwing a couple bucks in the community pot to help pay for the caterer foods, and that's all I eat.
The worst type of people are the ones that don't contribute anything and then go get themselves multiple plates. Like the guy that only brings crappy donuts for breakfast club does.
I could totally get behind mains being catered and sides/desserts being potluck style. Much less dodgy meat that way.
They collect $ for pizzas, but having a potluck for pizza seems silly too.

I always have to remind him that he works from the couch and could grab a beer from the fridge at any point in his day

People still do that shit? At work? Gross. Do not eat anything, pretend to eat when they are looking and trash that shit!
I tried one bite and spit it out lol. Dumped the plate in another room when she wasn't looking. SO BAD.
Made a really big order that honestly should've been done through our catering side during lunch rush today, got everything packed up and labeled and honestly busted ass to get it done in time. An hour goes by and they still haven't picked it up. My boss goes to call them and then looks at the ticket and walks sheepishly over to me and shows me the date on it.

It was for tomorrow.
If I was closer I'd pick it up for this trainwreck of a potluck lol.
Though ideally next year we won't be having a Christmas party because one of the twenty+ jobs I've applied to will get back to me and I won't be working there. Switching industries is tough, esp when you can't afford a pay cut.

My company had a great Christmas party for the 6 years I've worked here, until a bunch of under 21 employees showed up shitfaced last year so the owners decided they weren't having one anymore. Fucking kids ruin everything.

That sucks. I love work drinking functions. I dont ever really drink, but seeing people I'm use to seeing at work in that setting is always intriguing. Like, I never would have guess that my director can drink like he does, or that he ever wears shorts.

I love how "Wow you look so different out of work clothes" can be both a compliment and insult at those kind of functions

I think "cool cargo shorts" can only be taken one way.

Today is the aforementioned office holiday potluck. Part of it is an ugly Christmas sweater contest. One guy is wearing one that fits like an Under Armour base layer. It is a lot to deal with visually.

I might need a photo of this. Anyway you can sneak a snappychat photo?

It's nothing you want to be involved with. Trust me.

Ours is today too. It's in the basement of the building, which I never knew existed until today. Might be a trap.

made it through the potluck. There is a basement and it's huge. Apparently it use to be some research lab that moved out and we took over. I've been in this building for three years now and never knew of it's existence.
My good friend/manager is getting transferred to a different location and we’re getting stuck with this woman who is always 110% on the peppy-ness scale and I just can’t handle her.

It’s petty but I may put in my two weeks
Could you just follow your friend to the other location?

I live 5 minutes from my job now, and the store she’s going to is a 30 min drive. I don’t need this job, I only work cause it’s something to do and I loved my team but now the best part is leaving.
