The Duality of Man
Dude, I’m a Loser!
-- We were the first to leave the office Christmas party Friday night.
-- For those of us keeping score (that’s just me and you), the Steelers have to win out and the Cowboys have to lose out. Otherwise, I’ll be buying a Cowboys shirt for some humiliating photographic documentation. And then sending the shirt to you (Patricia). As we discussed on IM, there’s a crack whore involved somehow. Hope you cherish the shirt!
-- End-of-the-year deadlines at work are shaping up to be a week and a half of straight R-A-P-E.* With a break for Christmas.
Yay! I’m a Winner!
-- At the office Christmas party, I won the centerpiece at our table playing Rock, Paper, Scissors.** The centerpiece included two bottles of wine and a box of crackers. And a bunch of shiny, plastic ornaments.
-- We’ve set some Holiday-shopping-related records this year, as we’re mostly done with our shopping and WON’T be scrambling for last-minute gifts on Christmas Eve.
-- We sent out 15 cards this year (usually we buy a box of 18 and send out, like, three).
* Y’know . . . figuratively.
** We’d actually agreed to split the centerpiece, but played for it anyway. And I won . . . even when it was extended to “best of three.”
Wow, that actually sounds worse than our office party. Hee!
Posted by SJ on 12/19 at 09:55 PMI was pretty stoked when I got your card this year. I hope I wasn’t too drunk to remember to put yours in the mail. The last couple weeks are a blur, I’ve been trying to get my liver in shape for my trip to Arizona and it’s looking like I’m going to need a transplant when I get home… Start saving up, I’m gonna have a WEBSITE DONATIONS BUTTON for my new liver. I’m gonna see if we can snag one on the cheap in Mexico!
Posted by styro on 12/21 at 04:21 PMHow could I not cherish a t-shirt covered in crack whore cooties? My only disappointment is that it won’t be here in time for Christmas.
