Oh Really?

We had our annual holiday party where the whole company gets on buses and heads to the casino for open bar and gambling. We meet up at one of the bars beforehand and get a couple drinks in while prizes are awarded. This year we came up with the idea to make t-shirts to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the company.

Well little did we know all we had to do was wear jeans and we would be distinguished as different! Most of the time these parties are very relaxed and people don't feel the need to dress up. Dragonmaster and I walked in with jeans, boots, and our hot tshirts on. I believe one of my friends (we shall call her Hanson for her love of the band Hanson) said it best." I thought we were going to a holiday party, not Miami." Oh this one nailed it on the head. Most of the other bars dressed to the nines, I am talking stilettos, dresses, full make up, stuff that we just don't do.

So we sat around and had a couple beers and the buses came and picked us up. Of course my fellow staffers were the first on the party bus, or so we thought. We saw 2 guys in the back just chillin and we asked how they got on before us and they replied they knew people. We then asked where they worked and they responded (the bar I work at) so we started giving them shit saying ohhhh these guys works at (our bar) and kept going on and on. They were good sports and they learned we actually worked there and had made tshirts. I finally turned around and asked where they really worked.

The one guy said I am about to embarrass you, I said try me. He then told me the guy sitting next to him was the owner. Gulp. I quickly turned to Dragonmaster and for a minute we were silent. Of course they were super cool and joked around with us and partied with us and i am pretty sure we made their bus trip way more memorable. I mean we were the only employees on the busy dancing and singing and having a good time, how could you not love us?!

I guess the moral of the story here is don't be an asshole unless you know for sure that the owner of the company is not sitting on the bus with you!?
