To ask how I can show my face on Monday

[cadburyegg]

I went to a works Christmas do last night, drank too much and made a tit of myself.
I’m dreading going to work on Monday! AIBU to hand my notice in?! I can’t see another solution!! Help!

My worst one ended with me being ambulanced out of work on a stretcher. It was near the beginning of my alcoholic career. No one in real life knows this about me. Not even my closest friends. My mother would remember but we never talked about it. I don’t drink anymore. Sober 20 years. No one knows that about me either. No one except my adult child who still suffers the anxiety and memories. I have never told a friend in real life and this is the first time I’ve told anyone ever.
I definitely never regret a sober night.
In your case, try to laugh it off and move on. People will all have been drinking themselves so don’t worry.

Oh I know the feeling! Mine wasn't a Christmas do but my boss's leaving do. I tried to keep up with him and for context he was about 22 stone and I was around 7 stone at the time. It was messy, and I have vague recollections of confessing all sorts of stuff to him thinking I'll never see him again, and lo and behold he actually came back and became my boss again after like 6 months. He was such a good dude though and never said a thing. I think he likes to get pissed too so he knows how it all works. The next Monday morning I walked into the office in front of everyone and shouted "oh X, I was so so drunk on Friday!" and everyone took the piss out of me for a bit but then ended up sharing their drinking stories.

This was about six years ago and I'm fairly sure I haven't got "proper" drunk since because I was so embarrassed. I also put myself in dangerous situations trying to get my drunken ass home by myself, so I've learnt a lesson there.

You'll be fine OP. As you can see, most people have done it.

Head held high op.
Buttocks clenched.
Good luck !

Definitely need to know the details of (making a tit of myself)

I'm sure she will have full knowledge of company strategies, management plans etc. plus the experience and knowhow, so my bad

So my bad? What on earth does ‘so my bad’ mean? And you, so disparaging and mocking of drunk wife at party - ‘So my bad’ is this an expression that your oh -so-important DH would use? This just strengthens my conviction that said drunk wife was probably right! Good grief.

I would resign , the vomit is bad enough but the other much worse, no one will forget, your dignity is gone from this workplace. Best to change your name , move town , and career or forever be known as the woman who farts at parties.

Well, the work day almost over now so you have brazened you way through it, arent you glad you didnt resign, all over with!!

How did it go at work today @cadburyegg ?

Hahaha. Well thanks everyone this thread has been thoroughly enjoyable to read

I went into work and laughed it off saying how I was embarrassed, hardly anyone mentioned anything and no mention about the fart!!!

Well done, OP!

Just re-read this thread next year before you go to your works party x

Nice one. Well done OP.

I read all the way through the comments for this?

@Havingtwinsat40

What did you expect? The OP wasn’t misleading. It was about getting drunk and farting at a works do

@Havingtwinsat40 OP didn't know the outcome when she posted, what were you expecting? You must've read OPs update do knew what had happened, she can't change the outcome!

What an odd post!

Unless you punched somebody or slept with them don't worry about it.

OP to make some happy can you update that you fled in tears to HR, called someone out on their behavior, unfriended them on fb, and any other mumsnet bingo putting the world to rights you can think of.
