Lights Dimmed
Friend and contributor Tom Nakielski, (Lights on Studio) sadly passed away on Friday morning. Tom had been in the hospital for awhile and after a long fight, decided that his body was tired and needed to rest. I'll write more in the New Year, but given Tom's immense contributions to the site, I felt the need to share that lights in Tom's studio have now been dimmed.
TR Pics: Santa's Little Helpers? (Part 3)
Like so many of us, even Santa Clause needs a little extra help around the holidays. Especially for those 'special' jobs Mrs. Clause now refused to perform. Even though Ole St. Nick only intended to hire one or two new helpers, the applications came pouring in. Thousands of hot hopefuls were hoping to help Santa out, by sitting on his lap for mall practice, and testing out their sucking skills with the candy canes.
With so many eager hopefuls, Santa enlisted photographer TR Pics to help narrow down the list. Tom's job was to take some shots for the applicants to attach with their resumes. I introduced the first three applicants earlier this week and today we meet our final three holiday hopefuls. Check out the entire applicant pool HERE: I know who Santa chose, but I'm sure you all have a favorite!
The Office Christmas Party
'It's business as usual, but make it festive!'
For most of us, holiday work parties are chore. They're something we have to do in order not to piss off our boss. With this in mind, it's no wonder so many are fueled by alcohol, and even more so where I work, 5 gram cannabis infused watermelon gummies. There were bowls of the green and red flavored sweets, unfortunately for some, they were not labeled....
Partaking in a drink or two, (or more) or a few gummies, can make the party easier to bear. Often, you end up chatting and laughing with people you ignore between Monday and Friday. A great example is these three cuties below. At work, they HATE each other, and barely speak. The feud began when the guy in the middle slipped away for a quickie with the guy on the left at last year's holiday bash. Unfortunately he was engaged to guy on the right at the time. None of them have spoken since early January, but at this year's party, the best of mates!
There's always someone trying to get through the party without any booze or stimulants of any kind. As you can see, his cubical mate wasn't having it, and tried to force some sticky liquid on him. His buddy tried to decline, but by the end of the night they were toasting eggnog together.
the office party was held at one of the supervisors homes. It wasn't a huge space, so the party was in every room in the house. As you can see from the photo below, you couldn't escape the festive activities even in the bathroom.
Below, the FH staff were photographed at the end of playing a drinking game. The premise, a sort of scavenger hunt with the goal of finding their penis twin. No one cared who won, but the tasks and challenges required during the game had them all exhausted by the end.
I worry a little about HR with this one. We'll see what happens when we all return to the office in January. The head of one of our divisions insisted all of the guys who work under him sit on his lap for a picture. Most of his employee's seemed game, but a few were angry about the promotions he promised for party favors last year.
The gift exchange was actually a hit this year, but almost everyone received the same three gits. There was the old stand by, the home made nude selfie calendar, that most people gave, but there were a couple of other popular gifts. In addition to paperback copies from the Heated Rivalry series, thanks to all those television commercials, a few lucky guests got to unwrap their own K-Tel Lovehoney butt tingler.
