GameWorks. Free food and an hour and a half of free games. They have a TSPP. :D

Where's yours?
 
Lucky you, I bust my ass and travel the country for my company and they just slap us in the face and gives us a sorry ass 20$ debit card
 
We just had ours today...

It was at a place called "Canvas and Cocktails". It was relatively fun, but you had to pay $25.00 out of pocket plus BYOB. The item we painted was NOT something I would have chosen, luckily my daughter loved the finished product I brought home so it's hanging in her room.

My vote was on Laser Tag this year, but alas...
 
Xmas Party? Whats this Xmas party you speak of?

Seriously.. we havent had anything I would consider a party in years. Bunch of Scrooges. They brought in Pizza and some italian for lunch earlier this week
and most ate at their desks.
 
$25 more than what I am getting...

Yeah, me too. Ours is tomorrow and its a potluck in the office with a progressive gift exchange. Wonder what turkey gag gift I'll get this year??

No bonus - or gift card - since we're government, at least we still have jobs though.
 
I dont mean to be a kill joy or or to piss on anyone's parade but the simple fact that some of us have and keep our jobs should be enough of a "thank you" from our employers. I dont care if I get a bonus or a raise or anything. I'm just happy that I have a job that puts a roof over my families head. I've got a friend thats been unemployed for almost three years. The $25.00 that you guys are bitching about would be a great thing to him.

Even though the industry that I'm in is doing well I dont expect any sort of kickback from by boss.
 
We had a small luncheon at a local restaurant, nothing real fancy, but it was nice. But, honestly in this economic climate I feel very fortunate to have a good paying job that I enjoy. There are a number of folks I know across the country that have been looking for work. So, even a Christmas card would have been alright with me.
 
We don't get Chistmas parties. The boss' wife scheduled a Halloween part but thre was virtually no interest as she put it on the Saturday when Nebraska was to play Texas. It ended up getting cancelled. I am hoping that I might get a $50 bonus but I'm not counting on it.
