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

I used to be able to do handstands but I tried it the other day (while trying to demonstrate one to dd) and realised that the last time I did handstands (err probably around 25 years ago) my hands only had to support about a third of the weight I am now. Felt like my wrists were going to break lol.

I have never kept my eye out for all you drunk gymnasts. I shall watch out for you now.

Have visions of morninpaper's dh plying her with booze and then mentioning the word 'splits' and just waiting for the show!

I don't think people give a hoot if you get pissed and misbehave.That's the whole purpose of works' dos. I was at one last night. Everyone was wrecked-it was that sort of evening.

lol foxinsocks...bubble, if I'd pooed in my knickers I would have literally died, because there would be no way I'd be allowed back to work. I seriously hope it never, ever happens!

foxy. I did too!

I really thought I could still do a handstand to show DS2 the other night, but the fear kicked in. Weight and fear have increased.

Ohforfoxsake · 15/11/2008 20:50

Deny all knowledge. Claim to be so pissed you can't remember a thing.

alleve · 15/11/2008 20:50

Co-workers love this sought of thing anyway. Someone has to get shitfaced drunk otherwise it would have been a boring do.

Sorry I'm not helping am I?

alleve · 15/11/2008 20:51

'sought' 'sort'.

cocolepew · 15/11/2008 20:51

I can't do cartwheels, weak wrists don't you know.

HTH

VanessaParody · 15/11/2008 20:51

Were the knickers you flashed navy or bottle green gym knickers and were your BAGA awards stitched on 'em?

lol at that link cocolepew lol at this whole thread in fact. I can still do all the gymnastics I used to do when I was younger, except the splits. There's a video on youtube of a woman standing on her head doing yoga and her baby crawls up and starts feeding. I acted it out with DD for fun You don't half feel the blood rushing to your head though!

Morningpaper - just seen the question you asked me - I didn't manage to pull my knickers down in time cos I was so pissed, and she happened to be walking past this green where we all were.

Never peed my pants. Last year I had too much to drink and ended up in a clinch with one of the polish boys. Year before ended up in a clinch with a seriously sexy co-worker, didn't need to be drunk for that! Staying at home this year.

morningpaper · 15/11/2008 21:24

oh yes knickers a go go

Littleladyloulou · 15/11/2008 21:26

Haven't read whole thread but...

Hey, it was an out of hours colleagues night out, what the heck. So you did a cartwheels and could't quite make it to the loo? Ok, not the best but it's hardly criminal activity worthy of the police. You were squiffy not agressive!

This is what to do: absolutely nothing! Go in as normal on Monday, lightly go along with any ribbing, DO NOT refer to it directly yourself, if someone else does then laugh along a bit and say something like "Who dear, me dear, drunk dear, no dear!" or, "I don't know what you're talking about, I only had one vodka all night ".

If someone refers to the weeing just say "You should have gone to Specsavers, didn't you see I just kicked over a drink on the floor? "

Try and play it down as good natured high jinx BUT if your boss takes it all serious then follow his lead, (don't try and joke about it) just nod. Don't get into conversation about it. Least said soonest mended (or summink).

TotalChaos · 15/11/2008 21:29

not as bad as yours - but one year decided to go to vodka bar for a hour before xmas meal out - turned up to restaurant absolutely hammered at 8p.m. and had to go to loos to be sick from table a few times (was uber obvious). Was not the only pissed one, and didn't need to mentoin it or apologise.

cheshirekitty · 16/11/2008 16:24

Last year at my dh works do, he got so pissed he vomited red wine all over the table.

I got back from the loo to find him with his head on the table, in a pool of red liquid. Thought he had either been shoot, or had a gastric bleed!!!

He is on his 3rd promotion this year, so don't worry too much.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/11/2008 16:30

Sorry - I can't get passed the bit when you said you were going to have a wee outside. Eeew! How on earth do you think that's appropriate - even if you were pissed?

Brazen it out on Monday but make very sure that next time you're out with work colleagues that you keep an eye on your drinking.

starmucks · 16/11/2008 16:41

Oh the horrors. The upside is that all your other colleagues will be loving you, because their bad behaviour will pale in comprassion. Brazen it out and deny peeing yourself. In fact deny it all, say they must have been so drunk they imagined it.

Ronaldinhio · 16/11/2008 16:49

no I haven't done anything like this Chloe but I was at a christmas do where one of the men told everyone that he had just shagged the hr lady up the arse in a toilet cubicle
