Embarassed myself at the work Christmas party

Right so. For the most part when leadership were there I was fine. Didn’t say or do anything stupid.

towards the middle of the evening I went for a cigarette and the door knocked me a bit and one guy went “ooo steady on” but it was just that the door knocked me. And yes I was tipsy but not totally messed up.

later in the night I think I walked over and said that was rude making out like I’m some p*sshead. I also touched his arm for no reason while I said this. I then had no recollection of the rest of the conversation at all because he brought me a shot.

But by the end. My close colleague and I had a couple more and by the end it was both of us and a few others. As my close colleague and I were heading home I fell over and then because of the motion in the taxi I took home with her I had to step out and throw up.

My colleague and I are at the same level and have gone on nights out together and got like this before. But I just still feel ashamed of myself.

I’m so embarrassed and I’m supposed to be applying for a leadership role. What do I do?

At a Xmas party at my bosses house I was so drunk a colleague had to put me to bed with a bucket beside me in case I was sick and I asked him to tuck me in. I got a bit of slagging for that. Another time a colleague emailed me to tell me he loved me when I was in the taxi on way home (I'm married: and I honestly don't think he fancied me: he was just blotto)

Worst though is my husband dropping some drunk colleagues home: one woman started puking all over his car. She then started crying that she had pissed herself ( and the seat!)

I don’t have a clue why people are trying to make you feel so much worse. Some people are so boring. Sounds like you and your colleagues prob have a fun night and what you did doesn't sound bad to me. I’ve seen much worse at work dos and some of these people are now managers. Really don’t worry about it and have a laugh when you go back to work. I’m sure everyone the next day was to anxious worrying about their own behaviour to sit there thinking about yours 🙂
