How was yours? i had mine yesterday, started at 1 at a really nice restaurant at the Shipping Passenger terminal or whatever its called just up from ciruclar key. the restaurant was called Wildfire and waiters walk around with meat impaled on giant scewers and they cut it off onto your plate, damn it was good... then after getting a nice buzz from the free booze we left, walked up the road and proceeded to get ****ed at a bar.. was a great night actually.. im not likin it right now but you get that...
how was your xmas party or how do you think it will be?

It is a beautiful resturant. It certainly lives up to its name of Sydney's Finest. Its pricey, but its well worth it. The food is just sensational. Im going back there on in Feb for my 23rd birthday. Bar up the road, wasn't Jacksons on George was it? about a 10min walk. Not a bad place either really. Especially the french bar-maid lol.  My christmas party is next thursday, tis going to be a big one.... |

Our Christmas Party will be lacklustre, we only get $25 a head, which gets you stuff all. And no one will want to hang around a have a drink, because the morale is bad at the moment. Not that we can drink because it's during work hours.

My one was the weekend just past. We stayed two nights at Sofitel Broadbeach.
Apparently I was drunk all weekend. I had such a good time.

We had ours a few weeks ago. It was at the Stockmans Bar & Grill inside the RNA showgrounds. Awesome venue. Free beer, wine and champa's, heaps of food.
It was a good night. I didn't get too messy as we had a B Series Cruise at 6am next morning..... |

I haven't had a really awesome work Christmas party in years, my most memorable was probably the day I worked for a large company, and our department had lunch up in the hills, our boss paid for the minibus and subsidised some of our food & booze which was fantastic. Got back to town as the work day was finishing, and the whole company's Christmas Happy Hour was that night - three hours of all you can drink booze for $10 from memory.
I "walked" in the door at 5am Saturday and slept most of the day. Good times. This year, the small group (5 people) I work with (totally different place now) and I are going to get chicken & chips and eat it while we work.

We just get lunch put on (mini spring roll and party crap) and a few slabs of VB, Jimmy and or Black Douglas at work at lunchtime on the last day of work, which will be Friday this year. Pretty crap really.

Been doing the rounds of our contractor parties these past few fridays, DHA one was last night and was good. Got the office one next Friday, and then another one for the employees after that.

My boss hired out a few apartments on the sunshine coast for 2 nights a few weeks ago for everyone from work and put on some food and drink and organised a few activities for everyone and made for a good weekend, i got messy and made an idiot out of myself etc. etc. life goes on and it sure was fun!

we had ours a couple of weeks ago.
game of golf after work (early knock off) then showered and to the local pub for a meal and drinks. the company put in $20 each for meals and the work social club went halfs with the pub to get a singing guy for the night. was a pretty good night really. not much night life in Miriam Vale.

Sadly, I'm working all through Christmas, as both places I work must continue to serve throughout the holiday period.
One of the companies I work for even have a policy that prohibits taking leave from December through till February. And that same company are taking lessons from Ebenezer Scrooge in how to not give workers money, and keep morale low at the same time. No Christmas party for night staff, but a huge resturaunt dinner and then private IMAX screening for day staff. And guess who works the night shift. Luckily with my other job, they're not so stingy, and we get a moreton bay cruise for a day with free seafood buffet and free beer and wine, and cheap spirits. Hopefully it will be okay, because this is my first Christmas with them, I dont know how their parties end up.
