So I went down to Indy last night with Mike for my employee holiday party. What a difference to last year. People were happy and relaxed and intermingling. I suppose the writing was on the wall last year - it was right before they fired the Senior VP and let go a bunch of people, and a lot of the higher-ups were not at the party last year.My coworker (who was responsible for everything) was a little stressed, snapping at someone who had misunderstood the situation in terms of rooms and was asking why the room situation wasn't the way it was last year (someone else, who is no longer with the company, planned it). Mike is my witness - she was so rude to them, and instead of treating them kindly, got really upset and walked away. Now I won't sound like a nutcase when I have to vent about her - I get that kind of treatment from her from time to time. But that aside - it was a blast - we had a dj this year and people were dancing and grooving on the dance floor.
But I came home today to have Mike look at me funny and say, "You have a grey hair."
WHAT??? not funny.
Ok. This is not the first grey hair I've found. We were waiting for our photographer one day, before our wedding, and Mike yanked out a thick, curly, grey horse hair from my head. Not something a future bride wants to find a few weeks before her wedding! I dismissed it though as being a freakish accident. But to have a second (normal) grey hair? I can't ignore it. I'm only 26 but I suppose I have to begin to face the realities of time already. I guess I'm just in denial.

I ocassionally find them too.....I blame Krannert. :-)
Holidays office parties are generally a nightmare. This week's episode of "The Office" dealt with office parties. It was hysterical. I have a TON of gray hair. It's right on the top of my head, so I can't always see them, but I imagine that tall people see them all the time. Damn tall people.
pugly-if you've never seen the british version of "the office" by all means get your hands on it. it's phenomenal.
be glad you don't have super dark hair. when my gray's start poppin' up, they're gonna be beacons.
