This post might be a long one and a little late,however better late than never. We had our staff party a month ago and it was fun.
Office holiday parties can be a fun time for co-workers to get to know each other on a more personal level without talking of deadlines, budgets or clients.Parties can be the perfect place to celebrate the holidays together while unwinding away from the stress of the office. However, there is those co-workers who drink a little too much,makes a fool of themselves on the dance floor, overshares about something or even worse.
Now here is the story. In our past event I was given a role to organize thid event due to the fact that in my previous assignment I worked for a hotel and event company which is fairly known. As such , getting the venue, Food and drink items , sporting activities were my responsibilities.
Precisely Dec, 11th -2021, was the D-Day . Coincidentally our country was as well celebrating Madaraka day(Post colonial era)in our calendar. Double celebration.
The structure of the party was such that a large swimming pool area was rented by us(Now that the venue was identified)and the costs of the event was split as such. It had all the makings of a sh*t show and it did not disappoint. Before even the party began employees pre-drank for loss of a better word.
Infact one of co-worker got so drunk till he was doing high kicks and before we realize he was inside the swimming pool gasping for breath.He had already taken umwillingly enough “glasses” of chlorinated water which got entry into his stomach through his oesophagus .
Lucky for him we had our diver on site . He was pulled out, Eyes wide open and gasping for air.Just about to spoil the party.!!!!. He never went back to his bottle and neither did he ate food -What a waste!!! It’s a party anyway. Before the pool incident, he was a superstar . But then his superstar kicks landed him to the pool and out with a ripped swim pants,
This incident followed by many more as expected were the epitome o a good party; Wardrobe malfunctions, friendly fights and even gents making sexual innuendo jokes. After all the theme of the party was “Getting to know each other better”.
The venue was fairly good,the food and beverage was satisfying too. All the days activities were well organized.Thanks to our animator who apart from being an Engineer of huge repute he can as well Make very nice game moves too. He made us excercise for that day.
In the house was music icon who again happens to be our company executive . This guy can sing. ! He entertained us well. A company full of talent ranging from Music ,Comedy and even acrobats.
And this party proved to be a success to that level.
Food was served. Big up to the management of the hotel who made this event a memorable one.
We do apologize for the noise we might have caused that day to the residents of the facility. It was A Party anyway.
