to ask you what I should do tomorrow morning?

[user1482055574]

So I went to my work's Christmas do on Friday and ended up getting far too drunk .Had quite a lot of the wine on the table and a few drinks tokens. Can't remember past my second pint. Can't remember leaving and getting home.

No idea how to play this on Monday morning. Really worried that I might have done or said something awful. Worst case scenario what if I did something so bad that I get sacked/disciplined/stern words? Best case scenario I just get a bit of ribbing about being a bit drunk. I can't remember past 11, and the do went on until half 1. My last sensible text to my long suffering boyfriend was at half 10.

I'm driving myself a bit mad now thinking what if. Don't want to apologise too much and make too much of a thing of it if I wasn't that bad, but if I was awful I want to get in there and apologise as soon as possible. It's the not knowing!

Before you say, yes, I know, it was ridiculous of me and I could have saved myself all this grief and all this awkwardness had I just paced myself and not got carried away with a free bar.

Any help or advice appreciated!

Further context - in this job 3 months, fixed term 6 months but possible they might extend it. I'm quite quiet at work which makes getting so embarrassingly wasted all the more obvious.

Let us know how you get on!

How's Monday going?

I've been there. When I was a trainee, I got so carried away from nervous drinking that I ended up missing my bus home, getting a lift from my boss, who had to lock up my house behind me and put my keys through the letterbox. I woke up in my spare bed still in my dress. I sent her a text to say sorry, had a kind message back and it was Never Spoken Of Again. I finished my training and was made permanent and I'm still there several years on.

I remember being at a work do during the summer of, oooh maybe 2001. We were outside a pub, chatting, laughing, being drunk. Someone in our office smoked cigars, and I thought I was cool and mad and said that I could sooo easily smoke a cigar. Smoked a cigar. Vomited all over the street/road. Started crying - saying I know I've embarrassed myself, I'll get the sack and I'm mortified, all of that. Monday comes, everyone just laughed it off, I stayed there and got promoted a few months later. Next works drinks, other people did the stupid things. The point is, since the dawn of time (or the dawn of work drinks), there have been people waking up in the morning with THE FEAR, absolutely terrified about what they may or may not have done. It's a rite of passage! Don't let anyone make you feel like a dick, everyone's been there at some stage.... for me it's been a few times

Had a few wry glances and smiles and "you enjoyed yourself"'s, and that's it. A few people concerned about how I got home - it sounds like I was with a few people then just disappeared on them. I smiled and nodded and said I was fine. So it's fine, a few people think I'm a bit of a pisshead but I didn't do anything awful. I've been avoiding any talk of how pissed people cause I really don't want to draw any attention to myself, but sounds like plenty of other people were drunk and daft.

Thank you for your words of wisdom, has been very reassuring!
