1. When you arrive at your office party, what's the first thing you do?
  Head to the free bar
  Start mingling with people near the entrance
  Look for people in your department
 
2. The new cute guy you keep seeing around the office comes over to your group at the party and offers to get you a drink. You:
  Decline with a smile and turn back to your group -- you don't want to flirt in front of a crowd of coworkers
  Say, 'I'll come with you,' and follow him -- you're not going to lose your big chance!
  Thank him and keep chatting with your group while he goes to fetch it
 
3. You have an idea you want to run by your boss. When you see him standing alone at the party, you:
  Stroll over and briefly describe your idea to see how he responds
  Walk over, give him an update on what existing work you've been doing and ask about the status of other company projects -- you want to reinforce the idea that you're dedicated
  Lift your glass in a salute and keep dancing -- you're sure he doesn't want to discuss business at the bash
 
4. The day of the party, you're exhausted and just want to crawl home to your couch. You decide to:
  Skip the office event
  Go, make the rounds and gauge whether you can leave early based on the vibe
  Go and stay until the end -- even if you're too tired to mingle, you'll get points for being there
 
5. This year's party is at a fancy hotel/club. In anticipation of the big event, you:
  Wear your usual work clothes -- if you were meant to wear 'party wear', they wouldn't have scheduled the event right after work
  Buy a sexy little dress -- you're really going to let your hair down!
  Pick out a work outfit that you can dress up with a scarf or other accessory for party time
