Work Holiday Party

I almost could not sleep on Work Holiday Party Eve. Knowing the next day would include a company talent show and the Datamark band debut had me maliciously excited .

In classic work form, we potlucked it in the shop. The talent show included techo's on their electric guitar, managers on the cello, and a few other guitar solos. The talent show ended when one of our sales guys came out dressed as Elvis and sang a little something. I remember having one of those surreal moments. No way could this really be happening...at work...in the shop...as entertainment at the holiday party...right in front of me.


Next came the "Datamark Band" which members included our creative director, HR director, marketing director, TV producer, and some random guy they found online. They had been practicing in the shop after work a few nights a week, but today was their first official gig. I must admit they did sound pretty good, but I should have done back up vocals. Give me a tambourine, a mic, and a captive audience and you can guarantee it would be a good time.



Before it was back to work, the "Band" and Elvis did a little duet.



My parting thought: "What the Hell just happened!"

It was not Datamark's best moment, that's for sure.

Nobody remembers the incredible art displayed there. :(
