Disgraced myself at work function last night....how can I patch things up with my boss on Monday?

Hiya girls,

This is the situation I'm faced with: last night I went out on a work-organised night out with some of my work colleagues and I had a bit too much to drink. To cut a long story short, I started doing cartwheels all over the place thinking it was funny (not remembering at the time that I was wearing a skirt and just about everyone could see my knickers) and as I'd just about finished being silly, to my horror, my boss' fiancée (she's the second in command at the company I work for) started staring at me and shouted 'I'll tell (my boss') that you like flashing your knickers, shall I?" (the fact is she shouldn't have been there at all, as the evening was organised for us work colleagues, not her or her fiancé (i.e. my boss) Then, to make matters worse, I realised I needed the loo; I hadn't gone before we left the club, I was bursting to go and ended up weeing in my knickers, and she saw all this from a distance (I hitched my skirt up, hoping to pull them down, but didn't make it in time)...I just don't know how I'm going to face my boss on Monday now that his fiancée has seen me in this light - she will have no doubt told him everything by now... Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chloe x

chloe. Be glad you didn't need a poo.

Weddings? Bar Mitzvahs?

oh yes I'm very cheap

you may have heard

chloe11 · 15/11/2008 20:32

lol, foxinsocks, only one of my cartwheels went well...the second one kind of fell apart in the middle and that's when I started to piss my knickers. Btw, I wasn't in the loo at the time...I'd left the club needing to go, but as I was so pissed I didn't realise until it was too late...
I rarely ever wear trousers on a night out...I don't know, too much formality!

I think you get points for remembering anything

so you were in the street, removing your knickers, in order to wet yourself in public?

chloe11 · 15/11/2008 20:33

Why's that bubble99?

chloe11 · 15/11/2008 20:35

Yes, cos there weren't any toilets around where we were at that point...obviously I would have pulled them back up again afterwards!

bubble99...come to think of it, having pooey knickers would have been much, MUCH worse, so I have to think myself lucky it didn't come to that!

oh, dont get your wet knickers in a twist
brazen it out as suggested earlier and get it over with early on, take it on the chin and larf at yourself..its not an office 'do' without a cartwheel or two

do you entertain clients much?

What is this strange need to do gym manoeuvres when drunk?

foxinsocks · 15/11/2008 20:37

can you really do cartwheels morningpaper?

you need to learn to pee in the street chloe. Is not very graceful but probably better than pee in pants.

StealthPolarBear · 15/11/2008 20:38

ok i have to ask as i'm usually the last one to gret these things - is this a wind up?

morningpaper · 15/11/2008 20:38

I can do cartwheels, split and handstands

I need to sniff and beer and have someone mention it and I am upside down in no time

HRHSaintMamazon · 15/11/2008 20:38

be gratefull thepolice hadn't seen you.
An £80 pund public order offence fine would have made the hangover a lot worse.

chloe11 · 15/11/2008 20:40

No, I wouldn't write about this for a wind up, I'm not like that.

At least you didn't poo on her shoes.

Silver linings and all that.

Do you have a job where cartwheels/weeing is way out of line?

High Court Judge?......

Actually, with that job, throw in a gimp mask and you'd probably get a promotion.

Podrick · 15/11/2008 20:41

I think this sort of thing is more or less expected at office bashes -will probably win you more friends than enemies.

I suggest just deny everything and stop worrying

I hate works do's. This thread has reminded me not to go to our Xmas one.

chloe11 · 15/11/2008 20:44

bubble99 - I DIDN'T poo my knickers at all! Why do you say 'at least you didn't poo on her shoes' when you know I didn't do such a thing anyway?

God, don't get stressed serously, its not that major.

I would just breeze into work on monday as if nothing happened out of the ordinary, just get on with things as you would normally, in fact make a point of being chirpy and say hello to her and boss.

Make sure you appear not subdued, never ever mention it. Leave it to either of them to mention, should they dare, and then if they do (which I doubt, as he will be embarrassed to mention it too), then say 'oh did i? oh how embarrassing! Then laugh it off.
Honestly, they won't mention it if you don't!

a friend of mine, when a young solicitor, had to go out for dinner with the partners at her firm and some clients. she was v. nervous and sat there necking drink after drink after drink. as they left the retaurant she threw up. (while still in the restaurant).

she's a partner now.(in the same firm)

you'll survive. just be dignified. don;t ever give the impression that you think any of it's funny. but neither give the impression that you are so insecure/embarrassed that it'll take you a month of moping/avoiding people to get over it. you did it. live with it.
