And there I was thinking that not much had happened. There was a couple of things I saw, but nothing major, but here's the breakdown from the corridor gossip the morning after the night before.
1 - lecturer in psycho mode. After looking stressed/freaked out, a lecturer hides in a corner with a drink and starts looking angry. After announcing he's leaving as "this is not my sort of place, I don't feel comfortable here" he's spotted at the bar with not one but two drinks. Proceeds to get pished and have a good time.
2 - admin lassie absolutely blootered, staggering about with a drink in each hand telling anyone who will listen, about the "sleazy b*stards who keep groping her arse on the dancefloor. She then proceeds to name them before falling over twice. Once in the venue and once in the street. Horribly hungover the next day, and eventually threw up.
3 - married academic caught snogging single admin girl who (rumour has it) is involved with another (married) academic
4 - lots of really bad dancing, which, due to the amount of booze sunk, the perp think is the best dancing ever done. The highlight being one academic (do you see a thread here) dancing like a condemmed man who hasn't been strapped into the chain before they've turned the current on.
5 - possibly the weirdest one of the night. Male academic walking round in one of the admin girls' high heels. This is not the first time he's pulled this particular party trick. Is there something he's trying to tell us?
Anyway, that's it for another year. Thank God.
