WORK DRINKS

On Sunday night my work colleagues and I had a lock-in/staff drinks in the bar we work in, and it's a fair statement to say that it got kinda weird (in the best way). I was expecting a chilled out couple of drinks and a fun night getting to know everyone. While it was SO much fun, there was nothing chilled out about it. There were WKD strawpedo's (yeah, I know), which I couldn't bare to finish because the taste alone gave me nightmarish flashbacks to getting drunk when I was 13. There was Avicii's 'Wake me up' played literally about 30 times, a song which I will now probably forever associate with last night. There was tea towel penis origami. I told you it got weird. I even attempted to teach my bosses wife how to twerk Miley Cyrus-style. If you are sitting there thinking 'Oh dear Lord', well - me too.
 

If it's not coming across, I want to make clear that last night was hilarious and the most fun I've had in a while. I already thought that everyone was so incredibly lovely and welcoming and kind before last night, but now I also know that they are all really fun, interesting and hilarious too. I still feel a bit like the newbie or the baby of the group but after last night's antics, I don't feel like so much of an outsider. As it happens, getting drunk as a skunk with your work colleagues is quite an effective bonding exercise.
