So, with just over two weeks to go to THE BIG DAY(tm), the shops are in full SPEND SPEND SPEND mode, and the pubs are emphasising FUN and PARTY, and I'm thoroughly sick of it already.
Seriously, I'm looking forward to Boxing Day and some semblance of normality (sales excepted).
I've got two do's to go to, the main departmental one (which as per usual, I'll go to for the meal, then sneak off and meet a few colleagues who will also escape (or just not attend) in a pub of choice for a drink, where we don't have to be witness to people we work with pretending they actually like each other, and "dancing" like loons as they slowly (or rapidly in some cases) get wasted.
The other do is the one I prefer. There's a few of us in a lottery syndicate, and we always go for a Christmas lunch and drink, just the five of us. This year, it's been hi-jacked, as someone who can't make the main do has been invited - which is fine - and has then asked others along - which is NOT fine. I've even been asked "Are you going to Bobby's do?" WTF!! It's not his, it's ours, and it's been hi-jacked. I'm seriously considering not going, as it's going to be a pain having to smile, joke and laugh with people I don't want to be in the company of.
Like I said, roll on Boxing day.
