    As the title asks - are you going out with your work colleagues for Christmas?
    Personally I couldn't be arsed - I've to travel 35 miles and cant afford the extra expense this year.
    Plus, I'm sick of 90% of the staff. :mad:

    Mine was on Saturday. I got extremely drunk, tried to break a glass over my head for the laugh (i missed and dropped it on the floor), told one of my workmates to **** off and then went home to throw up.

    A good night overall.:)

    Is there a social welfare christmas do? That'd be fúcking amazing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    They didn't invite me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Might have if I hadn't been working til late that night - but the hassle of getting dressed up and travelling to the venue which is a bit of a trek, forget it.

    So I went on the piss after work with my friends.

    If I had a job I would. But seeing as I dont have a job my reply is highly irrelevant to this discussion, so I wont distort your poll.

    Mine didn't invite me either, it was a lads night out and I'm the only female :(

    So I'm having mine on my own starting lunchtime Friday and I'm going to get twisted, photocopy my bum, and tell them all what I really think.

    I work by myself and for myself.
    I'm going to get blotto and try and drop the hand on myself whilst dancing like a drunk uncle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Nah. I can tolerate only about 2 people from my workplace when in an non-work context. Id rather spend my time off with people I actually like.

    Will you get in a huge argument with yourself about how you never liked you, and wake up in the morning dreading work because of what you're going to say about yourself by the water cooler? :p

    I'm going to imagine your party as that scene in Fight Club where Edward Norton beats himself up.
