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.
One very memorable office do, I remember I didn’t even make it to the restaurant. My friend and I had decided to have a few drinks before we ventured out 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.
I have no idea why I put myself through it, but at the time it seems great fun and unfortunately the more the drink flows, the more my defences come down and I end up in a right state.
This year, I am confident that I will not be making a complete fool 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. Nowadays they are all futuristic and modern with absolutely no seating areas. Whatever happened to the cosy snug areas back in the good old days?
I am hoping that once we have finished our meal my colleagues will help me out of the restaurant. I will probably be staggering upto the local nightclub, if I am still in one piece. Once in the club, I know I will be okay because there is loads of funky club furniture around that I can collapse onto.
Hopefully I will be dancing the night away and not making a complete fool of myself.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??
