I’m about to do something completely unheard of that I’ve never done before, ever. I’m attending my office’s Holiday Party™ (patent pending).

I’ve been with the organization now for over six years, and not once have I ever gone to one of our holiday parties. To be sure, I have done a couple of our summer outings — our 2006 white water rafting trip was probably the best one we had and I was sure not to miss it. How many chances does this city boy get to do something that awesome?

But as far as our holiday gatherings go, I’ve either been already gone for the year or I just didn’t feel like going. I’m also not big on socializing with people I work with. While there are exceptions to the rule — a couple of whom peek in on this blog from time to time — friendships with people I work with tend not to work out for me in the long run.

I have my reasons for going this year. And I’m not telling.
