Shamelessing hitting on nice radio producer boy from downstairs, who I only decided I fancied about three hours into said party.
Shame share please, because I'm clearly a twat.

Maybe wearing such giant shoes has given you vertigo. I just looked at a ruler, and three inches is a LOT.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to take the voluntary redundancy which we have to take by Dec 31st. Arse.
I have to stay away from FREE LIQUOR as I inevitably break something expensive after drinking the entire drinks allowance and calling someone important a cunt.

The overall regional party was about a month ago and consisted of a meeting thingy in the morning and a barbeque at a local stately homestead. No drinks at all, whereas last year they had that one free ticket thing. It's a slippery slope.

To a hotel at midday. Some people from the Daily Record were at the next table and they won the quiz. The food was nouveau: one sprout. Half of the tables cleared immediately after the food. Did they really have to go back to the office? We stayed and danced in a big circle to Lips Inc, stamped our feet to the Proclaimers and ran off when Shania Twain came on. "You're so drunk!" somebody said. I'd had four glasses of wine, enough to turn me back into my self (rather than work self), but I wasn't so drunk.
On to Wetherspoons, where I began on the gin. Kenny from IT joined us. I left to join the people I'll be working with in January at the campus bar. Two steps from the door, my heel snapped. The barman helped me tape it back together. At some point we transferred to the staff club and while we were walking there one of my future colleagues told me several times in a highly creepy way that I was dead sexy and had an incredible arse (this has not led me to rate it any higher, however).
It all goes fuzzy around now. I remember telling an Aussie with big hair not to knock Pop and he confessed to owning To The Extreme. At 10pm I stopped drinking and went to sleep through see King Kong. Woke up, then got annoyed at the length of the film, Cineworld's nacho cheese and my by now extremely uncomfortable tight jeans. Taxi to boyfriend's house, collapse.
No hangover the next day. The red wine/gin combo works for me every time.

It's my office party today. I'm never good at sussing out the level of simmering sexual tension, professional jealousy or drug addiction, so I imagine it'll be fairly banal. I wonder if I'll be proved wrong?
KEN - DID YOU PULL????

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 19 December 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)
well, I was at the bar with a dude from work and it may have been drunken misunderstanding, but his hand kept being in the region of MY ASS and I thought he was just drunk and losing his balance and didn't want to make a hassle of it. THEN when I got the drinks I was looking down and that hand had shifted and it was going towards the CROTCH region! and i was like "woah!" and i think he said "can i do that?" and i said "err no don't do that". and that was it and he went home soon afters.

Last time I went out with people from work I ended up getting punched in the face by a colleague who was a bit upset that my friend didn't fancy her (somehow this was my fault). I hope not to have a repeat of that incident.

ace! I totally forgot you knew Modex!
It turns out I was comparatively well behaved, considering all things. Some guys made a total state of the limo they'd hired out to get to the do and the limo company had been recommended to them by the head of sales, who's friend owned it. They had to pay up.
I had been wondering if I'd pissed off the head of marketing by trying to blather rubbish at him but it turned out he probably was just wary of sales-y people as one of my colleagues had apparently laid right into him about I don't know what. Said colleague phoned in sick today and is likely to be in a world of trouble.I think I tried to hit on this quite pretty girl who I hadn't met and who I found out today basically runs an entire section of the company hahaha! Luckily she doesn't work in the same building as I do.

None of this is particularly scandalous, but I still sort've can't believe I was talking to the director, especially while on my 3rd glass of wine. The party only lasted a few hours but it was way more raucous than I expected.

This later led to me later drunkenly using the phrase "go go gadget penis" in front of my boss. Shudder. I drank an enormous amount of free champagne and don't remember the last bit of the party at all. Now I have mild fear.
