Work Xmas Parties

Avatar

Well I just had my work Xmas party on Friday just gone, apparently my performance was a spectacle to behold, award winning even according to some work mates, just what that award might be for I’m not sure.  My ability to speak and swear in French increased with every beer and when I switched to red wine with dinner it only got better, this was hysterical for the French and Belgian guys I work with apparently.

Despite my best intentions I started drinking with a Scottish workmate at 3 in the arvo at the casino and then moved onto Pontoon Bar when some more colleagues turned up.  Dinner was at 6pm and apparently we were asked to leave just after 9pm.  I think that will be the last time they accept a booking for 40 guys for a work Xmas do.  I know that we went to a club after that but it was only this morning upon arriving at work that anyone could tell me which one. 

I do remember leaving about 1:30am, some remaining brain cell that contained a smidgin of common sense must have fired and sent me on my way.  The bus home was absolutely chockers, when I eventually got a seat I fell asleep and remained that way until I miraculously woke up 2 stops prior to mine.  Somehow I bumped and staggered my way home, downed some water and nurofen and passed out. 

I hope the rest of you are a little smarter than I, I spent a horrible day hungover like a dog on Saturday wondering if I did anything worthy of having my employment terminated.  Who else has had their Xmas party, anything interesting to report, the more embarrassing the better!

I’ve had my nights of witch I don’t remember anything and of witch I found pictures the day after on facebook :D
The positive thing is that I tend to get more fun when drunk :D(I have friends who get aggressive, ...)

I once got burned(without knowing and or feeling it) from falling asleep against the heating :D

I did feel like shit the day after but hey I don’t care I head a great time :p

80$ is a lot of money for a “party”

No job this year, no party to go to… thank god.  Life of the party?  Nope, more like a little imp jumping around and being loud and obnoxious.
I always thought how weird and quick it was from having a nice time with some drinks and next thing i’m a mess.

all my work xmas parties have been relatively subdued affairs due to my boss being either a) a tight bum or b) very smart as they are always organised for mid week, lessening our chances of getting out of control and/or putting large dints in the work credit card. Didnt stop one previous employee though, a message at 4am the following morning detailed how he was infact in hospital with fractured collar bone from a statue riding incident gone wrong. He was also shirt & pantless which he was unable to explain

A few of us from different departments had a few beers at our luncheon and decided it was a good idea to raid the music rooms and have a jam session with guitars, piano, drums and random percussion instruments. Suprisingly the music staff heard and said we had to play at next yrs staff conceret LOL

When I was 20 I went to my first office Christmas Party, it was only a small office and the party was a very swank affair at the Adelphi Hotel Rooftop Swimming pool (melbourne). Thankfully i didn’t fall in BUT i did have to pretty much get carried down to an awaiting taxi… very classy. I was so embarrassed I never did it again!

Oh though i do remember another story. At a big international company we had our Christmas party at the Casino ballroom, at one point a couple of us decided to go onto the dealing floor and I was asked for ID. I was really pissed at this cause the guys i was with were over 5 years younger than me and weren’t asked…. the bouncer very straight faced said “we actually use it as a sobrietry test’ Yes this was said as i was struggling to get my license out of my wallet!
