Party time!

Tonight is the company “Holiday Party” - can’t call it a Christmas party because the owner’s Jewish - that’s fair.  But we have a Christmas tree in the lobby as well as a menorah.  Last night coming home on the bus I looked out and there beside us on the Gowanus at about 86th Street was a car with a lit menorah on the roof.

Anyhow, I’m not really looking forward to the party.  I like parties but with friends - not strangers and not people from work.  It’s at some place near the 59th Street Bridge and if I miss the last bus (at 8pm) I’m screwed for getting home which means either I have to a) stay late at the party to get a car home or b) pay for my own car service ($120 thank you but no) or c) taxi to 36th & 5th to get the bus there.  Option C seems the best of the 3 - it’s still a slog home but still.

And on a Wednesday night.  I just think of this party as a pain in the ass not a pleasure.
