Weekend Assignment: Party Hardy or Party Hardly?

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Friday, December 17, 2010


This is the time of year for office parties, family reunions, New Year's Eve parties and holiday parties in general. Are you a party animal or a party avoider? Do you go to parties because you want to, or out of obligation, or not at all?

I work in an office of one, and every day is party day!

If you believe that, perhaps you'd be interested in this deed to the Brooklyn Bridge. One owner, great revenue possibility!

When I do party, it's generally when I'm at a convention. I enjoy hanging out at room parties, catching up with old acquaintances and making new ones. And if it's an out of town event (or a local one where I take a room at the hotel for one night) I can stay as late as I want and even indulge in a drink as I'm not driving home.

Extra credit: How many parties are you likely to attend between now and New Year's Day?

Other than the over-the-river-and-through-the-woods family affair? Exactly none. There will be some informal gatherings with friends, but nothing I'd classify as a party.

Gosh, I live such an exciting life.

If we defined a "Full, satisfying life" by how many parties we attended, I suspect we'd all be in trouble. On the other hand, I expect you've had lots of "excitement" over the years that did not involve drinking alcohol in mixed company!
