aw, they could buy you coffee!being unemployed is sad. definitely missing the office holiday parties this year!
― tehresa, Thursday, 17 December 2009 06:37 (fourteen years ago) link
i worked at a university and our parties sucked. damp sandwiches and people boasting about their dull pending publications. but i might go back one of these days. i left by choice, so i'm not strictly unemployed, i just wanted to do some other stuff for a while.
― estela, Thursday, 17 December 2009 06:43 (fourteen years ago) link
even though i haven't drunk for a long time my boss mistakenly (and approvingly) accused me of pouring wine all over this annoying poet at a party a couple of years ago, so i must still emanate a kind of drinky unpredictability.

Man Tasered after Christmas carols 'assault'December 22, 2009 05:41amA SYDNEY police officer has Tasered a man during a Christmas carols event after being punched in the face and surrounded by an angry crowd.Patrolling officers were required to assist when a number of altercations broke out at a Carols by Candlelight function at Five Dock, attended by about 4000 people last night."About 10pm, further police were called to the venue due to the swelling crowd and reports that a teenage girl had been assaulted," police said.It is believed the incident led to a number of men attending the venue, two of whom allegedly became aggressive toward others in the crowd and were approached by a sergeant, police say."One of them allegedly turned on the officer, punching him in the face," police said."The policeman, who at this stage was surrounded by the volatile crowd, Tasered the man, bringing him under control and diffusing the situation."Police closed the carols event.The stunned man, an 18-year-old from Five Dock, was arrested and later charged with assaulting police, resisting arrest and affray.The man was granted bail and is due to face Burwood Local Court on January 14. The police officer was treated by paramedics at the scene for a cut above his eye.Investigations into the matter are continuing.

Vandals smash Myer Christmas windowDecember 22, 2009 - 10:05AMVandals have smashed one of Myer's beloved Christmas windows causing thousands of dollars of damage.Police attending a nearby job heard the sound of the glass breaking in the Bourke Street mall store about 3am, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.The officers ran to the scene but the vandals had fled, leaving behind the broken glass.The smashed window is the last in the Christmas display which tells the tale of the popular children's story book character Olivia, a little pig, helping with Christmas preparations.The window's glass was shattered but the nativity scene display behind the pane was not damaged.Police estimated the damage was worth thousands of dollars.Each year more than one million people visit the Myer Christmas windows which have been part of Melbourne's festivities for 54 years.

Dutch police shoot dead four escaped reindeerDecember 23, 2009 - 8:02AMDutch police have shot dead four reindeer that escaped from a Christmas sleigh display, fearing they might run into traffic and cause accidents.Police spokesman Dirk Neef in the northern Dutch province of Drenthe says animal experts attempted capturing the fourth reindeer on Tuesday by stunning it with tranquilizer darts but that proved impossible. Three of the animals were shot and killed hours after their escape on Saturday.Owner Willem Poelman says he purchased the reindeer for a show at his small business, "Poelman Donkey Park" in the city of Marum, 130 kilometres north of Amsterdam.But the animals broke loose within minutes of their delivery from a supplier in Latvia.
