Been working at home Depot for four years. Have not gone to the holiday party

Gardener adrena said she would drive me if I want to go

Some of the ass holes I hate signed up for the party

They said they give out prizes like Xbox and tv

Menu looks delicious

Socially awkward

Considering going

the work party is right now, today, 8-11pm.

i don't have a car and the bus doesn't come late enough to go to and from the party.

reasons why i might've wanted to go: the menu looked good. some rodents said that home depot gives out prizes like xboxes.

reasons why i didn't go: too much pressure to eat things off my diet, ass hole coworkers, sleep schedule, loud noise

i do not know if i regret not going. it sounds like a good change of pace and a good chance to socialize and all that retardedass BS, s**t.

Some ass holes at work still talking about the stupidass party

Maybe the food was delicious and expensive

But I am glad I didn't have to deal with annoying Alberto, tattle tale tom, or any of the other ghetto ass wild animals that work there

But still I want some social interaction

Just not with idiots that:

1. Say "huh" and "what" instead of "excuse me"

2. Put their filthy paws on my worthless corpse

3. Talk too much and too loud and enthusiastically

4. Self righteous, self important, entitled, rude, judgmental

5. Say "can you" like it's a polite request

Sometimes work parties can be overwhelming, but using DBT skills can help. If you decide to go, have an escape plan ready - like setting a time limit or arranging a way to leave early if needed. It’s okay to prioritize your comfort while still exploring opportunities for connection.

At my current job of 20 years, we've never had one and if we did, I wouldn't go. The job I worked previously, I did a couple times, and it was just awkward to me. Work should stay at work.

I went to my workplace party just before Christmas, 2024. The food was brought in by others to share, I brought pastries. I had a very nice piece of pavlova for dessert.

Only downsides, it was loud with people talking and someone took lots of photos. I was in a few of them, as I saw pinned on the photo board in the lunchroom. I don't like photos of me as they remind me of how fat I am.
