I really like the company I work for

[Dinner]

Just got back from a wine and cheese party that the CEO and the CFO (who happen to be gay life partners) threw. It was a very nice catered affair held to show off their new downtown penthouse apartment and I must say I envy their life style. They lived on the 30th floor of a building built on a large hill (very near the El Cortez Hotel for people who are familiar with San Diego) over looking the city, the harbor, and Balboa Park. Absolutely stunning.

The cool part was that everyone in the company was invited to their house from the executives right down to the janitor and, yes, even me. Very nice to see the janitor and his wife enjoying $100 bottles of Bordeaux with the PHD scientists. I liked it so much I hope they throw another party soon.

Are you required to kiss ass now that they didn't fire you for that "Sick day"? How was it anyway?

One of my coworkers had a similar party recently and it was the BOMB.

Can't say I love the company, but that's a good setup.

Congrats man sounds like fun.

I want their penthouse.

What happened to that recruiter chick you were after?

I drank to much and got sun burned. Had a great time though.

I'm sure some people have wondered how I got sunburned when I was home sick but they have, fortunately, not asked any pointed questions.

you envy their lifestyle.

So when are you getting your life partner?

We still talk however we haven't gone out for the last two weeks. The last two times I asked her out she said she was busy. I just kind of left it as an open invitation that if she ever had time I'd like to take her out again. That was two weeks ago.

OK, I want to own a penthouse like they have.

So what does this has to do with the company?

[Dinner]

That the owners are nice enough to invite people to expensive wine and cheese parties including low lifes like me?

[Az]

the owners of the company sound like nice people inviting everyone is just very cool and respectful.

[Pekka]

you have some self respect mister. If they wouldn't invite you, they'd be idiots.

So there. Don't be blindsighted by their normal behaviour. You aim high and take them down when the time comes, have no mercy.

[Dis]

So did they serve beer or just crappy wine?

I guess I'd go for the cheese. I like cheese. I just don't care for wine.

Speaking of. My work christmas party is coming up. But I can't drink because I have to work later . It's just not the same when I don't get drunk and make a fool of myself in front of my peers. And we are doing our christmas party at work. I don't think our owners would invite us into their homes. . They'd be too many of us anyways.

No beer. Just lots of different wines running from the obsenely expensive to the pedestrian along with a large jug of sangarias. Most people, myself included, made sure to not drink to much. The last thing you want to do is get **** faced and make a fool of youself in front of the CEO who just happens to own a Fortune 500 honorable mention company.

BTW I recall from the San Diego Polymeet we had a few years back that you weren't a big beer fan. When did that change?

you are mistaken. I love beer. Although that time in particular I happened to be drinking a really large margarita. I couldn't pass that up. But I started out with mexican beer and tequila before you guys got there. I mostly drink Newcastle Brown Ale now. But if I'm in San Diego I drink mexican beer. And during my frequent business trips to Reno I drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. don't ask me why, it makes no sense.
