With the imminent arrival of the staff Christmas do, it is vitally important to make sure the right place is booked for the staff.
If my past do’s are anything to go by, the annual office bash can get very messy and out of control.
I didn’t even manage to get to the restaurant on one of my more memorable office do’s. Instead I decided to drink and drink at a friend’s house before we went to the restaurant.It was with regret that I actually drank so much I was physically sick and couldn’t even stand up, let alone make my way to the restaurant.
I don’t know why I do it, but it seems such a great idea at the time, and as the drink flows, my inhibitions mellow and low and behold you have an absolute mess.
This year, I am desperate not to make a fool of myself. I want to remain fairly sober (fat 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.There are no seats and the bars are all futuristic and modernised. 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 at least hopefully still be in one piece and still able to stagger to the local 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.
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??
