I just recently got hired and it hans't been a year that I'm working at this place. There is a company christmas dinner. I was asked whether I would be going by the organizer, and I said probably not...and I was told maybe I should because the boss would be offended otherwise. So I went, it wasn't too bad, in the end I enjoyed it. I think I will be going in future, because it creates a good atmosphere between people...maybe it's a bit of kiss ass, but there's no harm in it as long as you keep your self-respect. It also makes sure that you're not such an easy target to pick on.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
