How many of you are ever genuinely excited about work Christmas parties? In my head, it's 'don’t beat us down all year then expect us to get excited over a party'. Am I (or I guess all the people on my team) the only one who feels this way or do we have company??

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward.

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?
