Work do tomorrow evening. Just like every year, when it rolls around I can't be arsed to go. I wasn't going to but they've , for once, booked somewhere decent and I can walk home form it. Free booze and decent food all night, what's not to like? Bar Saturday morning alarms call of course. Anyone got any made up work do anecdotes to tell? I haven't.
Off out for a curry in a couple of weeks time, food will be free and a couple of drinks. I wont stay late though.
I've got a couple of belters coming up though, ones that aren't a drag. Going back to my last project next week for some golf and an open cheque book piss up with the client and agent etc. That one should be a good crack and is miles away from any prying eyes. Back on the old Devon stomping ground too, be good to have one last visit.
I had my worst ever hangover after a works Christmas do. Bonus was that I had to travel to another country for a family do the next day when what I really needed was two days in bed.
When I was working at a certain investment bank their Xmas do was held one year at The Old Whitbread Brewery on Chiswell St. If you’ve ever been there, the rooms have huge vaulted ceilings some 30ft+ high. Anyway, before we all get to tuck in the Chairman’s PA gives us a welcome speech. She prattles on for about 5 minutes and then says, “Please don’t untie the balloons on your table as they’re helium filled and will rise and stick on the ceiling. We then have to pay a special contractor to come and take them down” No prizes for guessing where all the balloons were an hour later. Stupid cow
Anyone else? That's suggests you are. Where to? I'm off to Le grand Bornand in February, wish it was tomorrow to be honest.
