Default Your Work, whats did they get you,,,

So all those that work for companys,,,what did your employers get you for Christmas??

Do you get a bonus?
Xmas Prezzie?
Taken out for a slap up meal or a pi$$ up etc??


We was going to be taken out,,,however there was a debate about costs etc from the staff so basically everyone turned it down
So now the boss has brought us all drink

I went to Macro with him today and instead of getting em all Champers which is what he originally wanted to get em, managed to get him to buy what they all wanted,,,,beer, spirits etc

Oh and got myself a HUGE box of Smirnoff Ice

The staff are having their own xmas party,,,,and thats tomorrow night and I can't wait I'm going to get very drunk I think

Well I work with men,,,and only two other ladys (not in my department though),,,so of course us ladys have to drink the men under the table

Dam though got to work Sat morning,,,, I think I may be kinda late


So what about you lot??

I can't complain really, and I'm not. My choice to blow both do's out, and I get a nice salary anyway..............and nice expenses too.

Not complaining - just an excuse to have a whinge about something
