Hasn’t yet stopped the NFL or college football.
Now, why would they,,,,,,,,,,,,?

no christmas parties around here parts either.
lot's of stuff being bought and sold over the internet.
i don't know how the brick & mortars will fare this year. Large corporations and companies will have wonderful Christmas at the expense of brick & mortar stores.

No party this year for my team, here normally I would fly up to our El Dorado Hills office and stay for several days catching up with folks I rarely get to see during the year and enjoy a huge party.
This year corporate wide we are shipping gift baskets to each employee's home in lieu of a party.

Yeah, I'm gonna drive myself after work to some restaurant in the dark schidthole that is Clarksvegas just to eat with people I see every day, and then drive myself back, wasting hours of MY time.... I've always declined.. I agree, Ebenezer.

No way the State can risk it. Not that the party was ever any good.
Yup.

I never go to the Xmas party, not my thing but those I work with are like family and enjoy it, better than family in many respects and I hate to see it cancelled or require masks.
Bet it will be cancelled.
We cannot go into the building for any reason after TDay without a test and negative result.
I suspect we will not be working in the building sooner than Summer 2021.

Our annual meeting was cancelled. Thank God! Travel to HQ to waste 2-days hearing all the VPs tell how great they are, pat themselves on the back, and kiss up to the owner. Most boring damn 2-days of my entire year. I absolutely hate it.
This year we are blessed with a 6-hour webex to hear the same crap. I'll stay awake by sitting in a fire ant mound till it's over.

David, 2020 is canceled. 2020 may very well be much, much better than 2021.

We ended out Christmas parties after our auditor and our lead engineer got DUIs leaving the shop.
That and a turkey fryer caught the smoke-break picnic table on fire.

That and a turkey fryer caught the smoke-break picnic table on fire. We had foreman’s meetings at the SPJST Hall, Company bought the beer. Most in Company trucks. Can you imagine 30 plus plumbers and fitter formans drinking free beer. Always fights, bent fenders, damn it was fun. Same way at the company Christmas party. This was in mid 70’s Lodge # 88

Going to be a zoom party for work this year. They're going to have a hypnotist. Think I'm going to pass. They used to have a Thanksgiving meal. This year they're sending gift cards.
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again
