Office Christmas Talks

[Anonymous 0]

December will be here soon. The annoying Christmas music is already playing in my department non-stop and my colleagues cannot stop talking about how stressed they are about the holidays season. They are sharing “horror stories” of trying find presents for their wives and kids (Note: women aren’t talking about buying presents for their husbands).

I get four months off of work each year and I usually accumulate them all and take the entire month of December off to travel. Last year, I went to Italy. So this year they asked me where I’m going to. I inform them that I’m off to Thailand. They asked me how I can afford to take such vacations every year to which I replied,

“Simple. I don’t have wife or kids so I don’t have to stress about buying anyone anything. Instead I spend my money on traveling”

The look on everyone’s face was priceless. Everyone I work with is married so instead of thinking about what I had said, they started making sarcastic comments about my traveling –
“Oh, look at this guy. He gets to travel”
“You think you’re better than us”
“Well, la dee daa”…and on and on the comments went.

I really wanted to say, “Say all you want but deep down, you all would kill to be in my shoes. Freedom is a beautiful thing”

But I bit my tongue and didn’t say anything. They already know their lives are over and their freedom is gone.

You know half those dudes went home that night and had dreams of pushing their families off a cliff and joining you on your trip to Thailand.

A-Yup.

They will talk smack to your face to earn pussy points but deep down they are jealous.

My to do list for Xmas.
Avoid my family and the drama that they generate.
Avoid everyone else and their s~~~.
Do whatever the f~~~ I want.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation.

This is true but be careful. There will always be that one asshole that wants to make your life as miserable as theirs. I don’t believe that work associates need to know anything about your life outside of work. It makes you a target and can invite trouble.

That actually made me laugh. Stealth is better choice cause envy is a powerful emotion though, but you get the style points.

The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

Very true.

I never socialise with the people I work with, and never tell them anything about myself.

Amen.

I can’t even remember the last time I bought a Christmas present, unless you count wine for me and my buddies.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

You aren’t too far off the mark. One guy constantly complains about his wife. I don’t see them lasting very long. They have two kids so his life is over whenever his wife decided to pull the plug.

I hear ya. I wish the tone was set that way from the get-go.

We are a close-knit family at work. We have been working together and over-sharing for years. It is tough now to change the office dynamic when it comes to friendly office banter.

I intend to be a lot more reserved when I moved to another role. You guys are right. The less they know about your personal life, the less ammunition they have to pester you with. We have to be very careful of what we share and who we share it with.

Isn’t it funny how predictable people are? I see things like this posted online from time to time (on this and other forums) and people respond the same way. They’re jealous and taking their frustrations out on you.

Christmas, another reason I am glad I no longer have to put up with the ex’s neurotic mind.

Sovereignty above all else.

LOL @ Stump

i can top that:
I KNOW i never bought anyone a Christmas present.

This is why when married people with families I work with tell me of how much I must be so envious of them having a family, I just nod and smile.

Yes, as you run around like a jackass piling up a fat debt for the holidays, poor me has to sit at home, sipping a drink and enjoying the entire “Four Seasons” on my stereo.

While struggling through a blizzard, ankle deep in ice cold slush, freezing in the winter, I can lazily look out my window to see the snow falling outside.

I can pour Maker’s Mark into my tumbler and think about how terrible it is to be out there in weather and traffic like this, happy to be relaxing in a warm home.

Yes, poor me, not to know the joys of rushing around for some Sweet Little Cupcake I knocked up.

Opps ! I need more ice !

pussy-begging simps.

Gambit……….that’s such a wonderfully descriptive phrase, it should go in to the MGTOW hall of fame.

Pussy Begging Simps….PBS.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

Happy New Year!

Thought I’d post a follow-up to this post. Thank you all for your comments.

So December 2017 came and went. I had a change of plans and instead of Thailand, I went on a whirlwind trip to Europe without any set itinerary. I visited nine cities, took several trains, buses and airplanes, met some amazing people, had delicious food, a few cold ones, visited museums, art galleries, outdoor markets, ate street food, etc. After I got back, I was asked at work to share a few pictures of my travels which I did. My co-workers loved looking at the pictures.

I secretly hope to inspire some of my male co-workers and show them the freedoms I enjoy, with the hope that they will one day, choose the path of freedom instead of staying shackled to their land whales.

*Sorry, I made a typo in my original post. I said I get “four months” off of work each year when I meant to say “four weeks”.
