It's that wonderful event you look forward to all year, all too often followed by a hollow feeling of regret: the office Christmas party.
It's a chance to get lubed up on eggnog and form alliances with the lower brass, perhaps flirt a little with the hottie from marketing, and generally come out of your shell with the other drones (like the way-too-festive new hire above).
It's also one of the best opportunities to gather blackmail material.
You know the types. You know the drill. If you're planning on throwing back a few at the office shindig this year, exercise a little self-awareness and avoid the following behavior (bravely demonstrated by fully-sober Houston Press staffers).
And keep your camera ready for the blackmail file.
Drunk D-Bag Every office party has one. While the widespread practice of passing out Xerox ass-and-boobie-shots probably went extinct sometime in the late '90s, every now and then a schnapps-loaded employee stages a revival. Usually an IT guy.
