I Thought You were Just SOCIAL!

I was looking forward to this work event all month.  I had my toy ready to donate and my dollar store santa hat that fit perfectly on my big head.

Coworker + Toys + Cube

But like any work event I drank a lot.
I was happy because I haven't had an opportunity to hang out with my new team.  It's important to be able to know your coworkers outside the office even if it's a work event.

I was really happy to find out that most of them love to dance!  DJ was pretty amazing.  I did some iPhone flirting by handing him my phone asking him if he DJs anywhere else.  His apathetic responses implied that I should get off his balls. 

Get jiggy with it

One of folks I worked with told me that she knows this cute girl she could hook me up with.  I asked her why she thinks we are compatible:
"She's cute and young, you're cute and young.  Why NOT?!"
"That's great, but there's only one problem with that, IM GAY!"
"OH MY GOD!! All this time... I thought you were just SOCIAL!!!"

Yes.

I was on the other side of the club full of advertising folks when Teenage Dream by Katy Perry came on.  I pushed between CEOs and Directors of Marketing, "excuse me, this is MY song!" And I headed to the dance floor.  I got some chuckles.

Yay, work people!

What's fun about these events are the ridiculous "photo booth" photos you can take.

The photographer helped us out with our poses.  This reindeer + Santa pose is definitely NOT HR approved.

It was so hard to get the whole team together.  I was rounding them all up like a cowboy by interrupting conversations.  The photo peeps had fun props to play with.

At the end of the night, we grabbed some pizza on Melrose and I made conversation with the Valet guy.
"Who's the most famous person that has stopped by?"
"Chris Brown."
"That's cool."

I think we talked about where he lives and his family... I guess I really am just "social."
1000 Toys were collected that night.  Totally awesome!
