Seriously, that's how lame the holiday party was. The people planning this thing have not progressed beyond middle school.
The Electric Slide? Are you fucking kidding me?
Now, it would be one thing if people were enjoying themselves and dancing and basking in the lame, but the only people dancing are the DJ and the people on the party planning committee and everyone else is like, Awkward.
And based on what I've heard, this happens every year.
So, why not skip the frightening DJ (dude was seriously creepy) and spend the extra money on better food? I mean, you can still have music: it's called a boom box, and I'm sure the University has a sound amplification system to its name.
As for the food: I like shrimp. Not enough for it to be worth the expensive seafood part, but I do like it. I do not however like it when it is gummy, chewy and gross. And why put it on a stick with olives? The lunch meat was okay, I guess, but the supposed "Hot and Cold Buffet" was severely lacking in the hot department.
Dessert-wise, the chocolate fondue fountain was extremely disappointing. I mean if it's gonna be that pitiful [breaks out into Weird Al's "You're Pitiful"], why bother with the fountain aspect? Why not just have a damn bucket of chocolate? It'd make dipping easier. Heck, then you could ladle the stuff into a cup. Plus, how much chocolate is being wasted by the fountain mechanism which must be a bitch to clean? And I realize it's winter, but those are some sub-par sour-ass strawberries you've got there.
Now, I can deal with crappy food, music, ambiance, etc. since I am technically getting paid to endure it [does the happy get-home-from-work-early dance], and even crappy parties are a decent change of pace from, you know, actually working. Not that I'm actually working right now as I type this up... but that is irrelevant to the travesty that was the lack of recycling receptacles.
If you're gonna serve beverages via aluminum can and plastic bottle, you'd damn well better have a place to recycle those eminently recyclable items. But noooooo, just a trash can, so that already lazy people who don't care about the environment can have an excuse for being non-recycling fuckwads. I did eventually find a recycle bin out in the lobby (for a while I thought I was only gonna be able to recycle what I could carry), so I was able to make several trips and salvage at least some recycables for recycling, but I shudder to think how many just got thrown away because people are moronic losers who don't care about pollution.
