Christmas Party Invitation
December 1st
TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will
take place on December 23rd at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue. There
will be lots of spiked egg nog and a small band playing traditional
carols....feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our
CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus to light the Christmas tree!
Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however,
no gift should be over $10. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Patty Lewis,
Human Resources Director

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday that often coincides
with Christmas (though unfortunately not this year). However, from now
on we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to employees
who are celebrating Kwanzaa at this time. There will be no Christmas tree
and no Christmas carols sung. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Patty Lewis,
Human Resources Director

Regarding the anonymous note I received from a member of Alcoholics
Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, I'm happy to accommodate
this request, but, don't forget, if I put a sign on the table that reads,
"AA Only," you won't be anonymous anymore. In addition, forget about the
gifts exchange-- no gifts will be allowed since the union members feel
that $10 is too much money.

People, people -- nothing sinister was intended by wanting our CEO to
play Santa Claus! Even if the anagram of "Santa" does happen to be
"Satan," there is no evil connotation to our own "little man in a red
suit." In addition, I've arranged for members of Overeaters Anonymous
to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women closest to
the restrooms.

Vegetarians -- I've had it with you people!! We're going to hold this
party at Luigi's Open Pit whether you like it or not, you can just sit
at the table farthest from the "grill of death," as you put it and you'll
get salad bar only, including hydroponic tomatoes. But, you know, tomatoes
have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream.
I'm hearing them right now....Ha! I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Eat
too much and be sick...you hear me?

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery
from her stress-related illness. I'll continue to forward your cards to her
at the sanitarium. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our
Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.
Terri Bishop,
Acting Human Resources Director
