Party time

T'was the work Christmas party yesterday.

It wasn't as good as last year, but it was good all the same. We went to OL for lunch (it is a steak bar, no steak on the lunch menu though), and I didn't actually find the food as good as it normally is, although the warm bread was just as good.

We then went to (Vodka) Bar Revolution around the corner for about 6 hours, played some games, did some dancing, talked to lots of people, you know, the usual things. Only had a few vodkas though, which I think was very sensible of me. One good thing was that they had a promotion on where you could pay a pound to the bar staff when buying your drinks, and then, if you win a toss of a coin, you get your whole round again for free (well, for the pound you've already paid). I saw at least two thirty pounds plus rounds being doubled for us.

Afterwards we went to Baraka (at Mel's suggestion) which was playing hard house music (very Christmassy, Mel seemed to like it though), so I didn't last long at went home about 12.

It's funny, I was pacing myself to drink all day, and when I left I really didn't feel that drunk, just tired, unlike some of the other people who had got that far, and today I feel tired, and my head and stomach aren't right, but I'm well enough. Tina told me not to get toooooooooo drunk (she described an act that would constitute toooooooooo drunk) so I was good(ish).

I thought this would be it with regards to work for me this Christmas, but I have to go in on 1 day next week to support our offshore partners in India, hopefully they won't bother me much.
