I am having my office party...

54 replies

motherinfestivemood · 16/12/2004 13:38

...any other freelancers care to join me?

I am sipping a glass of nice white wine, admittedly of slightly better quality than the average office bash. Later I may tell myself shyly that I've always found myself rather attractive, or alternatively try and give myself a quick kiss behind my desk (must remember to get filing cabinet for future festivities). If it all goes wrong I may need to totter into the loo for a quick sob.

Cheers!

I have put best of cliff richard on and am browsing amongst the canapes

Lacking a photocopier, I am drawing several pictures of my bare bum to hand out to myself later

Joolstide · 16/12/2004 13:42

Joolstide · 16/12/2004 13:43

oooh catty jt! I'm joining you with an after lunch cup of Earl Grey.

By the way, welshmum has nearly got my nickname!

I'm getting merrily hammered at my desk and am about to say something to the obnoxious boss-type figure that I'll probably regret all year

5goldendillydallys · 16/12/2004 13:45

I have cornered the YTS male trainee in a corner and regaling (sp?) him with tales of childbirth

TheHollyAndTheTwiglett · 16/12/2004 13:45

I have just realised however that I am at the wrong party as I haven't worked for 2 years now .. where's the SAHM party then?

TumbleflumpDancingBum · 16/12/2004 13:47

spacedonkey · 16/12/2004 13:48

I am busily passing a parcel to myself

I have just admitted to myself how terribly difficult I find myself to work for. I may progress to disclosing some scandalous incidents in my past that I didn't know about myself. Obviously I will regret it tomorrow.

See how pissed I am already, where else would i corner someone but in a corner
motherinfestivemood, are you in charge of the bar?

Joolstide · 16/12/2004 13:49

only joking!

Flumberrysauce · 16/12/2004 13:52

I'm so jealous you are all having so much fun. i spose you will all let yourself have a lie in tomorrow as well.

Pidge · 16/12/2004 13:59

Sounds far better than my project lunch last week - me and 14 computing men! And much more fun than my company Christmas bash this eve - more IT men, and I can't even drink the wine (preggers!). At least there will be no queues for a sob in the ladies loo if I fancy one!

Flumberrysauce · 16/12/2004 14:10

This thread made me think. I am going to throw an Xmas party for my parents and PIL for looking after my dd all year.

I'm going to give them dried up old turkey with pale pink jam type stuff. Perfectly round potatoes. smelly squashy sprouts. Followed by black pudding and brandy butter.

I wonder if my FIL will try and get off with my Mum

Damn, I've finished my glass of wine. Might possibly have to return to reality, which is a bit sad really. I was just realising just how interesting I am, and how if you look at me in a particular light I'm actually quite sexy.

Are you lookin' at me?

spacedonkey · 16/12/2004 14:12

I've just got back from getting off with myself in the cupboard under the stairs

Will you be able to face yourself tomorrow, SD?

Aloha, how dare you. How dare...er...I'll just sit down for a minute...

sd - why the cupboard under the stairs - was someone in the toilet?

wickedwinterwitch · 16/12/2004 14:16

Ha ha MI. Am bored, bored, bored at work and wish I was able to join you.

spacedonkey · 16/12/2004 14:29

i'm now trying to persuade myself to stop crying and come out of the toilet

LAMBda · 16/12/2004 14:35

I'm doing the secret santa and am appalled at the tasteless 'joke' present that I bought for myself

ruinedxmas · 16/12/2004 14:35

i'm ringing dh and telling him that I love him in words incomprehensible to anyone unless they've drunk as much of the Xmas punch as I have.

and now i might have to be sick into one of my plant pots
