I asked Olessia, “when was the last time I took you to a company holiday party?”

“Never”

“Doh!”

When I worked at Keithley, they always charged us $25 or so, per person (including the employee!) to go to their holiday party.  They almost always had their party on the same day Olessia’s company would have their’s (and their’s were free).  National City would have a small department party (30 people or so) which was fun.  This is my first year at Progressive and this was a holiday party just for their IT folks.  They rented out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and made it a cocktail party.  I got to take Olessia to a company party for the first time.
