Last week I was in
conversation with someone, Christmas was discussed before the topic
of staff parties cropped up and knowing that I was self employed I
was not asked if I was going to one to which I promptly pointed out
that I too, despite being a work force totalling one had a company
knees up every December! It was back in 2015 when I asked myself why
should I be excluded from such things just because I was self
employed? Why couldn’t I let my hair down at the company’s
expense and that is exactly what I have done each Christmas since! So
it was off to Hooters of Nottingham for this year’s arfon.net
Christmas staff party. I was shown (along with Mrs Jones, my +1) to
our table by one of the Hooters girls for our eagerly awaited
Christmas lunch, my favourite the boneless Hooter’s chicken wings
with lemon pepper rub sauce and Mrs Jones made the most of Hooter’s
Wednesday rib deal allowing a whole rack for the price of half!
Christmas crackers added the festive flair to the table and for those
of you keeping tabs on such things my cracker contained a plastic
Christmas tree cookie cutter, a joke (“How do ducks round off a meal? Cheese and quackers!”) and of course a paper hat (yellow) which I wore. Secret Santa gift this year was a Land of the Lost
Sleestak Funko Pop figure! (The joy of this bit is that I always manage to get something that I really want!) then there was the annual tradition of having a photo taken with a Hooters girl. The photo has since been pinned to a new office detail in the studio the arfon.net Christmas staff party bulletin board! Complete with crooked pinned photos and comic sans typography the bulletin board faithfully replicates a staff bulletin board found at most business premises only this one also has a hint of Hooters décor to it as it showing off photos from each party reminding staff that there is only another 365 days to go until the next one! A big thanks to everyone at Hooters of Nottingham as always for the warm welcome and for making my third staff party the Hap-Hap Happiest since the last!The First arfon.net Christmas staff party
