My name is Will DeFrees, and this is a Sunday Scaries podcast, your cure for the Sunday Blues.

For reasons 24-year-old me simply can't fathom, Monday morning has become one of my favorite mornings of the week as of late.

While I initially thought this was due to the fact that I couldn't wait to talk to my co-workers about white lotus,

I soon realized that it was a much different reason, the bad Monday stories that everyone seems to submit to the Sunday Scaries Instagram story.

While I used to be someone who could have easily submitted a hungover anecdote every Monday morning,

I now consider myself to be the major D at a restaurant where you all clearly drink too much red wine and espresso martinis.

The theme of these stories as of late, especially in December, office holiday parties, nearly all of them.

Hooking up with co-workers, throwing up in front of everyone, perhaps getting a little too comfortable after one too many cocktails.

It soon became quite evident that some do's and don'ts of holiday office parties were very much needed.

These are those do's and don'ts.

Our first, do overdress.

If you're wondering if you're overdressed while you're getting ready for the party, I have good news for you.

You're absolutely not. If there's ever a time to dress to the nines that surround the holidays in front of your co-workers,

at a nice party that is funded completely by them, trust me, you would rather be overdressed than underdressed.

And that is pretty much a rule for your entire life.

Don't! Where anything that your boss can't afford.

Oh, you got a hand me down Rolex from your dad? Definitely leave that at home.

Maybe an old Chanel purse from your mom? Just go with some other clutch for the night.

You don't want to look like you don't need your job because honestly, most of us probably do. I know I would.

Don't show up to the people who sign your checks and look better than them because they will be a little confused when you have luxurious jewelry or anything else that costs a lot of money.

And even if they say they don't notice, I promise you, they do.

Be a little bit modest even though you're still overdressing.
