| Minh: | Hasan, did you hear that our winter party will be on the Thursday night before Christmas? |
| Hasan: | Yeah, I guess they’re going to do the same dull stuff again. |
| Minh: | No kidding. I remember that the president’s speech was quite a snooze-fest last year. |
| Hasan: | I hope he’s not going to make a long speech this year. |
| Minh: | I was wondering if the Employee of the Year is going to be announced. Remember last year? Todd won, and when his name was called, everyone raised their eyebrows. |
| Hasan: | Yeah, it was unusual that someone who hasn’t managed a large project got the award. It was definitely a feather in his cap though. |
| Minh: | But the band they brought in was nice. It got us all on our feet at the end of the party. |
| Hasan: | Yeah, that was pretty rare for one of our parties. |
| Minh: | Oh, speaking of entertainment, the IT team is going to set up an interactive game. They really love to take center stage, I guess. |
