Xmas Party Funness.

'Twas a fortnight before Christmas, and the company party was happenning.

Well, for a company of rocket scientists, we certainly know how to have a good time. A bit of food, lotsa drink, a few awards for various award worthy mentionables. Did a bit of dancing, then went off to a nightclub in Guildford. On the coach trip into town, was arguing with this blonde girl who has a 1st in physics that she was not dumb. This progressed into "I look terrible, had five hours sleep last nite" to which I replied "I've been up since half five, went to all this trouble doing myself up, and I look terrible". The next bit kinda spannered it, cos the girl sat next to her turns round and says "I think you look hot". Which would be OK, except she looks like a bloke, and I'm not in the least interested in her.

Anyway the club was dead, but I still managed to monopolize the company of three lovely local ladies while I was there. This did not go unnoticed, and I'm waiting for the comments to start. Two of them had boyfriends, and the other was interested in some other guy that was around. But it did seem that I had a "wingman" in one of the girls with BF when she suggested that the other one with a BF could be a nice girl for me. (this was before I found out she had a boyfriend)

After this, we went back to a house party, got even drunker, had a misunderstanding with the guy that lives there (he thought I was cracking on his girl, but we were just having non-sexual innocent fun). I mingled elsewhere for like 10 mins, decided to leave, went to say goodnight to him, and thank him and he said "Don't go, lots more drink, get stuck in". Turns out she had some unwanted attention from someone else, and he was just being a bit vigilant. Fair dues. We're OK now, he came round to the office and apologised, blaming the demon drink, but to be honest I don't blame him for being overprotective given the circumstances.

And today I was less productive than I needed to be, but at least I made it into work.
Oh, and before any of you worry about long distance drunken commuting, I managed to get a room on campus to stay in.
