Office happy hours

Post by planet planet »

Who the heck schedules an work happy hour in the office? They're bringing beer and wine and having it catered. Why not just go out to a bar?

Catered? The admin assistant can't just run over to the closest Schnucks?

You're complaining that someone is buying you booze?

Rant rejected.

Yeah, but who wants to drink in the office?

You guys just aren't getting it. We have happy hours outside the office all the time. After working in the office all day, why would you want to get happy there? Can some normal people please chime in on this thread and back me up?

I'd avoid drinking at work. Just go to a bar or someplace neutral. Who wants to be at work longer than necessary, especially to socialize? Not me.

Hold on. Is this happy hour being hosted during normal work hours, or after 5?

During work hours: Cool.

After work hours: Still OK if they're buying.

Pujolswrox bought some Guinness yesterday which we drank just after 5. No complaints.

I second the rant rejection. Some of us can't afford beer. Take what you can get!
