This morning, I stumbled downstairs at about eleven with my pajama top on backwards, something I noticed just as I saw Katie, who was possibly somewhat alarmed by the mascara smeared apparation wearing a man's dressing gown (it used to be Dad's, I basically stole it) and mumbling about 'fucking bastarding wine'.

... yeah. Staff night outs are bad for me and my self-respect. I actually had a great night, but I'm puzzled as to how I found myself in my manager's living room, taking sneaky drags on her fag*, a glass of wine in hand, trying to use a hula-hoop. I will clarify there were several of us there. I have no idea why my manager has a hula-hoop. I have no idea why we danced around to Thriller in her living room, either, although I have a sneaking suspicion the answer is 'wine'.

Oh, god, I have to work with these people next week. Help.

On the bright side, I'm not as hungover as I should be. Bit of a headache and the usual hangover feeling, but drinking sweet drinks for Britain seems to have done the trick. As such, I deem the night out a success as at no point have I thrown up bouncing purple lentils in a paper bag on my bedroom floor. I appreciate this is a somewhat strange and extreme yardstick, but we've all got to have our limits.

(Besides, I wil hopefully be a grown-up civil service type this time next year and I won't be able to get away with this shit.)

*I know that Smoking Is Bad And Will Kill Me, I also spent eighteen years living with prolific smokers and any damage has already been done, and I don't smoke unless someone around me is smoking and I'm absolutely wasted already. I have had the lecture already and I am highly aware I'm going to get another one tonight so please save your typing fingers.

To be fair, in that period of history, plenty of people lied to ripe old ages; my favourite is good old Jean de Jeanville, who lived to 98 and wrote a mad book full of reminisces... I don't know how people can spend so much on fags, that's the part that puzzles me, to be honest.
