They're having a Xmas party at work... I work the 10p/6a shift and this thing is at 2 in the fuckin afternoon.
I work there because I need the $, and I like some of the people I work with, but I don't have any respect left for the admin staff, and effectively don't give two shits about the job.
I've never been to an office xmas party in America. I don't know. Is it expected of you to go and at least pretend you're enjoying yourself?
Common sense says no, but you never know with cultural differences and customs. Doing something or not doing it may not mean jack in one country, and is a great insult in another.
Meh.
And no, I don't know why I need to post a poll to decide something like this. Pretty lame.
