The MTV Networks Holiday Party and Why Alcohol + Work = Disaster

Hey y'all! So I'm finally able to post the pics from the party. My night began with a gift exchange with the folks in my department. There were some awesome gifts like a chair massager, waffle iron, chia pet, Mr. Potato Head (Transformers edition), and Nerf dartboard gun thingie. What did I walk away with? A box of XL Magnums...
Of course booze was served...I made sure to down four glasses of wine. What kind of wine you ask? I don't know and I don't care. Afterwards Tracy, Chevonne, and I headed to Hammerstein ballroom for the big shebang. There was big controversy this year over how the temps and freelancers were shafted. Damn you corporate America!
Anyway, when we get inside here was the scene:
I was trying to get a pic of her shirt. I think it said something like Perma-lancers need booze too, or something like that.
If you close ur right eye and squint you can see in the very center of the snow globe a dude in there dancing...I wonder what he got paid for that?
I chillax with Trace and Chevonne for a minute, grab a vodka and Red Bull (Tracy's suggestion...thanks to her I was up all damn night), and head up to one of the balconies where I spot Sheri and Onika.Hi Sheri and Onika!

Samantha was up there too. Like how us brownies find each other and latch on for dear life? So this whole time ,my ace Pabvon is nowhere to be found. It's about 9:30, She's still out with her team at a restaurant, and I'm getting saucier by the minute. What does that mean? I'm calling her like a jealous ex-boyfriend. But finally, alas, she arrives!After that things get a little shady for me. Pabz and I do a once around on the floor, grab drinks, take pics and eat food along the way. Oh let me pause to let you know that there's open bar and food stations all over the place. Holla!

Whats an awesome snack when you're drinking? That's right, TOTS!
We locate some of the folks we used to work with at TV Land Shana and Mitchell.

We were attempting a double stuffed Oreo...oh well, nice try I guess. Yay! My former Nick homegirls Catherine, Jen, and Melisa...
Oh wait! I found another blackle...Love you Tuni! I think I may have goosed Lisa Park when I stopped her for a pic (and yes, I call her by her full name every time I see her).
Now it's time for more drinks. Cranberry and vodka, Red Bull and Vodka, Vodka and Vodka. Please not the progression of my inebriation.

I'm making my sexy face...why? At least Lauren (yea there's like 57.8 Laurens on my floor) looks cute.

Note the glazed over look...it's my signature.
So yea, at some point Pabz and I go back to the balcony where the other brownies have posted up. I'm feel like I'm very close to the point of no return so I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. But its a rouse! Instead I grab my coat and wait for a town car to take me to Aaron's. Anyone who knows me knows that I am quite famous for my disappearing acts. While I'm waiting an ambulance pulls up and EMT's race out with a stretcher and inside the party. Yea, it's all fun and games til someone kicks the bucket at the holiday party.
. It's my way of keeping myself from having that one last drink that will take me right over the edge. Anywho, I'm forced to share a car with like everyone else who lives in Jersey. Thankfully I'm the first stop. That doesn't mean the ride was uneventful. The dude next to me kept waking me up to tell me to give directions to the driver. UM! he has a GPS system. And I'm sleeping! leave me alone!
I get to Aaron's and talk his and Jordan's ear off for a while (remember the Red Bulls?) until I'm sent to bed.
So, no i didn't get any scandalous pics like I did last year of two married account execs humping each others brains out on the dance floor (note: they weren't married to each other). I also didn't cut a rug as much as I would have wanted to but overall, I must say it quite a grand and interesting evening.
