to be looking forward to 5pm tomorrow

[cjt110]

It's out works christmas do tomorrow. It starts at midday in the office and we are eating in town at 2pm. I am driving and therefore not drinking. Majority of colleagues will be drinking. They get quite load and brash (to a sober me) and act like children - blowing up and firing balloons around the area we are sat in, aswell as chucking fire crackers around the place.

I cannot wait til 5pm when I can get off home!

[Elllicam]

Is it avoidable? I have dodged mine this year.

[WaitingForSnow]

We're is it hosted that allows fire crackers to be thrown around?!

[DangerMouth]

I think the OP might mean Christmas crackers - well l hope so

[Leelu6]

YANBU, OP. I'm hoping to get out of ours. At least you finish early. Ours starts 5.

I went in,circled the room, nodded at the bosses, smiled at the colleagues, stacked and grabbed 3 m and s party platters and two bottles of champagne and ran back to Dp in the car.

Came home and stuffed ourselves silly

[MissTwister]

That's the spirit eh 'majesticseaflapflap' this the season to fuck over your colleagues

[MajesticSeaFlapFlap]

My colleagues joined me later, they were fine with the fucking over...as it were

[TheMasterMurderedMargarita]

I like your style Majestic wish I could do that!

[cjt110]

Well I managed to eat my meal, drink my Becks blue then escaped after 2 hours

[TheMasterMurderedMargarita]

Well done
Mines tomorrow. Have arranged a lift for 6pm.
I spend enough time at work.

[PingpongDingDong]

I hate being around really drunk people when I'm sober which is pretty much all the time! I agree, avoid if you can or get away early.

[TheMasterMurderedMargarita]

I drank enough so it was bearable.
Food was decent.
Met DH and DD and had a chippy tea.
Got called a party pooper but cba with the hassle.
Officially an old lady.
