Christmas at the office
I was invited to Royal Holiday’s year-end dinner party the other day, and now we’ve had our own party. Here are a few random pics from both.
Royal Holiday reserved the Obsidiana ballroom at the Royal Pedregal Hotel (coincidence or design?) to host their annual Christmas party. It was nice of them to send an invite –though I did spend 8.5 months of the year with at their offices, so it’s all appreciated. 
Traffic was murderous, but expected: with everyone (Sinergia included) cramming their own parties in the weeks prior to Christmas, the city has been a huge gridlock through mid-December and onwards. That didn’t deter the RH partygoers, however, and one of the remote Developments manager actually drove the three hours from Queretaro to make it there.
Food was interesting though a bit artistic: huge plates with a smattering of meat and generous sauce. After dinner, the company president (I think?) came up to host the traditional raffle. This being Royal Holiday, they didn’t hold back with the prizes! They worked their way up from iPods and DVD players to HDTV screens and a few round-trips to RH sites –a cruise included– and even a surprise car. Sadly, none of the prizes went to the poor, neglected IT department, but with about ten thousand people in the Call Center and Sales, simple law of probability was against us.
