I love drinking at work

We had a cider "wine-down" organized by me today, and now I'm procrastinating finishing up my stuff because I'm slightly buzzed, lol. 

ETA: While listening to the Michael Buble Christmas album of course :) 

Re: I love drinking at work

  • Oh - sounds fun! I think my office needs more drinking at work, we haven't done one of those in a long time! 

     

    It might be even more fun if we include our patients =)

  • I wish I could drink at work. We do have random beers in the work fridge though.

    Haha, you should totally start it.

    It's also a good way to get in chitchat and facetime with the higher-ups :)

  • We did cocktails at lunch once and then got nothing done.  So, I think leaving early for happy hour is much more productive.

    this. 

    last year, around this time, we got an email reminder that it's against company policy to have a drink at a holiday lunch, even if it's off site.

    Ugh, that sucks.  My old job was SO lax on drinking - they hosted Friday afternoon happy hours for the entire company and would often serve things like vodka shots out of ice luges.  It was not uncommon for me and my girlfriends to go to lunch, order a bottle of wine, bring it back and put it in the fridge and finish it off throughout the day.  I guess I was lucky!

    I just found out that starting 1/1/2012 we aren't allowed to expense any alcohol on travel. Before we were allowed 1 drink with dinner, but not any more.

    i dont know how your expensing works since you're technically a different company, but out parent company is the same.......

    they don't require receipts for under $75, and even if you do submit receipts, just turn in the "final" copy, not the breakdown of dinner.....

    this may or may not happen on many business trips :)

    on my old team, we had a launch party with jello shots. the marketing folks knew how to party, lol.

    yeeeah, technically I can do that, but if I ever get audited and I expense alcohol, I'm screwed. 

    I've never been audited though... *knock on wood*

    We just had finance come to present at our staff and it kind of scared the bejesus out of me. Crying

  • We have had a couple parties at the office with wine and the docs have it at all the meetings. It is allowed at company parties/functions - but it is strictly forbidden during work hours for us that work with patients. I don't know the policy for the rest of the staff.
