Several grievances were aired by junior account coordinator Jimmy Chatsworth after his fourth Jack and Coke at the annual holiday party for the Des Moines office of the Thaplan Kayler Group, according to several witnesses at the scene.  Chatsworth reportedly cornered the Managing Director at the back bar at Baratta’s on South Union, and proceeded to address several issues about the regular working environment that had been plaguing him for months.  Amongst the issues discussed were the recent lack of amaretto Coffee-Mate in the break room, the flickering florescent bulb in the supply closet, and the constant disappearing act of ping-pong balls in the game room.  Chatsworth reportedly went on to suggest that Kevin in print buying should never be allowed to wear Teva sandals with socks, and that Chatsworth would make the Monday meetings much more fun than Robert.  At the time of publication, it was not confirmed if any of the issues brought by Chatsworth had been resolved.

The entire “Digital Holiday Bash” party for the San Francisco office of @rrogant Ideation was inadvertently cancelled late Tuesday when assistant creative director Dave Childress rejected an Outlook invitation from his 17-inch MacBook Pro.  The negative response, which cancelled the entire party due to a little-known compatibility between Outlook and iCal, reportedly angered many of Childress’s co-workers.  ”Dammit!” said Flash designer Flip Jenkins.  ”Dave’s a cool guy, and brilliant copywriter, but that kid is helpless when it comes to computers, man.  I was so looking forward to getting blitzed on Egg Nog and hitting on Janice from client services.  Now I’m gonna have to crash the Nielsen party.  Their parties are always whack.”  Childress was unavailable for comment, and rejected two Outlook requests to be interviewed for this story.
