With the imminent arrival of the staff Christmas do, it is vitally important to make sure the right place is booked for the staff.
In my experience, these office bashes can get really out of hand and in my case, very messy.
For instance, I recall a do where I didn’t even make it to the restaurant. Instead I decided to drink and drink at a friend’s house before we went to the restaurant. Unfortunately I drank so much that I was actually pig sick and couldn’t even stand, let alone get out of the door and go to the restaurant.
It always seems such a great idea at the time, but as is normally the case, the more I drink, the more relaxed I get and eventually I end up a right mess.
For once, this year I am determined not to make a complete idiot of myself.It would be nice to remain fairly sober (not a chance).
However, if I should have too much to drink (foregone conclusion) there will hopefully be some decent bar furniture I can prop myself up against at the local pub. I know there won’t be a problem with the restaurant furniture, but you know what these pubs can sometimes be like. They are all modern and futuristic with no seating areas. Whatever happened to the cosy snugs of olden days?
I am sure that once our meal has ended my work colleagues will be somehow getting me out of the restaurant. I will hopefully still be in one piece and able to at least stagger up to the nightclub. Once in the club, I know I will be okay because there is loads of funky club furniture around that I can collapse onto.
I am hoping not to make an idiot of myself and hopefully instead will be dancing the night away.On the other hand though, if I don’t make a fool of myself, what would everybody in the office have to laugh about the next day??
