why i love my boss...

i got an email from my boss proposing a date for our departmental christmas party. this is the email:

"It’s that time of year again when we must gather to break bread, give thanks, and pretend to enjoy each other’s company. Just kidding about the pretend thing – you ladies are a delight and Mark is growing on me. Please let me know if lunch suits you on this day. I’m thinking beer, bacon wrapped sausages, and a hot tub for five."

responses ranged from "what about a keg, tequila body shots, and a stripper from the VI?" to "i'm always up for a good time" and "let's have it here."

if we're not all written up by HR at the end of the day, it will be a miracle.
