Oh, I feel so bad for those poor Wall Street folks who have to have a normal party instead of a ridiculously lavish one

Ah December, the Christmas Holiday Winter Party season. (Even though winter doesn’t start until the 21nd, but who’s counting?) Last year, the Wall Street event planning industry suffered a downturn. (Not that they’re doing all that great this year either.) Apparently, given the softening of the economy, companies aren’t quite willing to spend the money on parties as lavish as they once did. No more models hired to just walk around. No limo ride home. No going-home gift.

The poor babies. I bet they just cried themselves to sleep.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
