Work's Christmas do

[peoffrey]

I can't believe all these freebies. I've worked for half a dozen firms and just one was fine if you had no money. Even then it was just pints, bottles and house wine.

Recipe for disaster and I avoid them like the plague. Apparently mine was today. Glad Im still on the moby dick, at least I didnt have to find some excuse not to go. I hate everything about them, especially the giddy geeks who rarely go out after a few too many drinks. If I do have to go on any works function, Im lucky that me and my mates have a very active social life, and so I can be guaranteed that if I slide if somewhere else for an ale then some of the boys will be in there having an ale

 

[york away to this!]

I've just got back to the office after leaving mine early to prep for a meeting first thing. Even been drinking water as I've got to drive and not worth the risk.

Am I a boring c*nt?

Mines tomorrow, let the inevitable shitstorm ensue.

Is this the annual thread for the social mis-fits?

Seems so squirty. Add me to the list. Not interested talking work and work related gossip when I'm not working with people I'd rather not drink with.

Not at all Squirty. I have an active social life and what annoys me about the work Christmas do (and going out at this time of year generally) is, as hinted at by @Uncle Wally One Ball above, that the amateur socialisers come out and take over. You know the one, out for a big night out, doesn't know what they want when they get to the bar, pissed by 9.30 and takes up too much space.
I had a prime example of this earlier in the week. A colleague and I went for a quick G&T at lunch and we're stuck at the bar behind someone ordering a gin gingerbread, an old fashioned and a festive fizz. 10 minutes I waited to be served, absolutely ridiculous.
Rant over.

Yup .... A pub isn't just for Christmas ...

Big boss taking us for a steak at lunch today, he doesnt drink anymore for health reasons the fat fucker, but thats probably a good thing as he's a **** and if we got drunk we'd all end up abusing him most likely. Some of us are going out afterwards but that is standard Friday fare really, I think I might drink gin tonight, I always have an adventure on gin, sometimes good, sometimes not so good but always eventful.
