I'm off to my works do today. I've been told I should wear something "tinselly", and there seems to be some kind of pre-dinner drinks thing involving a cocktail called a "Sloegasm". I got odd looks when I turned down the offer of booze because I don't drink, and I suspect I've incurred the wrath of the staff at the place we're going by being the only vegetarian out of 20-odd guests.

I'm also pretty sure I'm going to be sat at a table with the loopy secretary who thinks a gift shop in Dingwall stole, killed & stuffed her cat, then displayed it in their window.

I'm in hell...

...um.

Got back from the do a couple of hours ago. Nothing too dramatic happened - and I managed to avoid the mad secretary - but it was about as much fun as I'd imagined. Lots of irritating conversations about civil partnerships -- bigotry alert! -- crap jokes, social awkwardness and endless "why are you a vegetarian/teetotaller" questions every time someone realised I wasn't guzzling turkey & swilling it down with wine.

...oh, and we had a Secret Santa - I got a packet of wet wipes for computer screens. Wouldn't have been too bad, except that every bugger in the place kept on asking what I got, then guffawing loudly when I showed them...

Unlucky. I've obviously done well.
Big party with our version of X Factor last thursday with some lovely ladies, lots of food (ok I did all the orgnising but it was great fun), then a meal at a hotel this tuesday and a very sucessful mulled wine and mince pies break this afternoon followed by leaving early :)

"vegetarian/teetotaller"... blimey it's a good job you've got comics.

Heh...

heh, i tried to fall off the teetotal wagon, but its very hard to allow yourself to become a drooling pratt like everyone else, even after a few drinks i still wasnt inclined to fall over or grope people.. sheesh, i tried.

we always have jokey presents, every bloody year i get the most wierdest un-funniest stupid presents for a single person, a cage to keep your favorite willie in ?, a magic globe that tells you what position to try next ? zzzzzzzzz

still my ex boss got a 'DIY blow job kit' how we all laughed, it didnt include wet wipes tho.

Buddy · 24 December, 2005, 05:14:09 PM

The buckle thing was a joke by the way... but I did make a tit of meself, oh dear... the booze!

judge dreddd · 26 December, 2005, 06:25:32 PM

I was 'mainly' respectable and danced around with a bunch of girls doing 'YMCA' etc. etc. tee hee
