Christmas Party at My Work

Friday was the dreaded BMC christmas party. It officially started at 5:30, but I had to nip home to drop off my stuff (washing baskets and horses that I'd purchased) so didn't meet up with Jo until 6:30 and didn't get to the party until 6:40. By that time a lot of people were already pissed, and the food was cold. I introduced Jo to my work colleagues who were sittin gin the corner very ITish not interacting with the rest of the group, then I headed off to mingle (I invited Jo to come but she declined)
I managed to down 4 smirnof ices (a lot for me) before the bar tab ran out, and caught up with Matt and Adam (editorial) and had a dance with Jenny before Tam and Alastair and John and Liam and Monica and Jo decided to head over to another bar (the bar tab having run out...)
Se we nipped across the road, after John stole the two 'Shaggy' life size cardboard cutouts, and proceeded to have a good time in there. Admitedly the Shaggies didn't talk much, but they did hold onto our coats, so I couldn't complain :) Matt also came across and we all chatted away.
Jo seemed to get on with them all pretty well which was good. I tried offering to introduce her to other people and suggest other things we could do, but she didn't seem too perturbed, so we just kept on keeping on.
Eventually we decided to head back to the party for a dance, and emerged from the pub just as the party finished! Tam et al headed off to get fish and chips (I found out this morning) while Jo and I went for a dance in a little nightclub near Bond Street station. Nice little place, and fun dancing until 1am when they got a HipHop DJ in and we left around 1:30, catching a bus home.
All in all a good night, and not as expensive as Sunday....
