Who didn't have that much fun last night?

We went to a party and everyone there is a teacher; they ALL work together. Everyone talked about work and DH and me were like

We only knew the host; she's a really close friend. Everyone seemed super sweet, but I guess we felt left out. People did ask what we did for a living, but I guess it's bound to happen (work talk) when an entire group works together.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

I think it happens often when a group of teachers gets together. Most of my friends are teachers, and when we get together all they do is sit around and talk about how hard it is to be a teacher. DH and I just roll our eyes, because they act as if teaching is the hardest profession and the others of us don't know what hard work is, just because we work in other fields.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

We didnt, DH is so sick he fought to stay up. I made a great dinner but it just wasnt the same. He always gets sick for NYE. But we had a drink and then passed out...just call us some wild and crazy party animals.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

That's a little rude and why would they only talk about work on NYE? How annoying.

We went to FL to spend Christmas with my family and alot of them work for my uncle's practice down there - work was rarely, if ever, brought up.

I guess if that's all they have in common, then that's all they are going to talk about though... lame though.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

we didn't either. i had to be at work at 4:30 this morning, so we turned the lights off as soon as the ball dropped... plus DH is out of work with a herniated disc in his neck so he wasn't about to go anywhere but the couch anyway.
i hear ya about "work" parties like that. that's what happens whenever people all work together... DH and i... when we're off, the last thing we want to do is talk about work though, lol

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

That is the reason why I don't like going to the company xmas party. I don't want to talk about work outside of work to people who always "want" something from me!!

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

Me..um, I was asleep for most of the night. Not even sick!

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

We stayed home and watched the DaVinci code. It definately wasn't exciting, but at least I'm not hung over today

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

I always let teachers know how wonderful I think the work is and how inspiring they are, because it's true. But I just can't spend the whole night listening to it. Sorry!

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

We went to a close friend's party, but we aren't really friends with the rest of the people who were there. Also, we had stopped by another friend's house earlier, so by the time we got to the party, everyone was already drunk. It was just okay, but I always find NYE parties to be a letdown.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

speaking of work related conversations, the hostess of the party I was at and I went to grad school together and are both still working on our dissertations. Her coworker starts talking about work, since we're all psychologists, then starts talking to me about my dissertation. I told her that I refuse to talk about this stuff on NYE, then the two of them and her DH get into a conversation about statistical measures used in dissertations! I was like..um, it's a NYE party, can we PLEASE not talk about stats!!!

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

My dad always talks about work especially when his friends from work come over and he always makes my mom feel left out (she doesn't work) so I try to change the converstation but its hard to do when everybody works together. I am someone who notices when somebod fels left and tries to include everybody but not everybdy iis like that.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

I went to a party with girls i worked with at my old school - so i had to catch up on the gossip

I actually had a lot of fun last night - and apparently was quite drunk as I took part in kareoke

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

we went out with BIL and his GF and best friend and her DH to a restaurant that was suppossed to have dancing after... dinner was good-lobster and filet mignon, lots of other stuff too- drinks were good, but NO dancing and it was a much older crowd...

we then went to family friend's of DH/parents...and we were having fun til I was insulted (AGAIN) by DHs rude uncle in spanish...thinking I would not understand what he was saying... that was nice of him! and I got mad, stormed off and cried...that was fun!

it got better I guess...but I was so irritated the rest of the night

We watched Hoodwinked with Damien and were in bed before midnight(woke up when my damn neighbor went fireworks happy )

Not that it wasn't fun, at least it was for Damien, but not what we used to do. KWIM

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

We had a lot of fun, but this was the first year we ever stayed in!!!! DH made filet mignon, we had shrimp and apps, watched Thank you for Smoking and then the ball drop! A great night...I'm glad we didn't go to any of the parties we had invites to. We both feel great today and had a great night.

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

I watched Seinfeld marathon, watched ball drop and then basically went to bed. And I was by myself.. Not the most exciting New Years but I feel great!! no hang overs and I have $$$

Re: Who didn't have that much fun last night?

we watched tv then went to bed........... not to much fun but we did not want to spend any $
