I met up with a fellow work-from-home-freelancer for a few drinks last night.
My friend was lamenting the fact that she didn’t have an office party to go to. So we decided to make the evening our own little office Christmas party and took the opportunity to bitch about our lazy-assed capricious bosses (who are ourselves). Then we confessed to each other all the times we’d pulled sickies or sneaked away from work to do stuff that was more fun.
Later on we noticed that there didn’t seem to be a photocopier in the pub, so we considered taking photos of our bums with our mobile phones and maybe printing them out when we got home. But in the end we decided it probably wouldn’t be the same and settled for taking our bosses home to bed instead.
When I woke up this morning, both the boss and I were a bit embarrassed about the whole thing and we agreed to forget all about it. In my experience it is not difficult to reach an agreement with someone who is yourself.
It is, of course, now necessary for me to do the morning-after-the-office-party-gossiping, so I have to go and make a cup of tea and giggle to myself about it.

Hehehe... You're funny! I hope I have as much fun at my office party later tonight as you did at yours! Merry Christmas!
Genius.
cracked me up, so you did.
There's a distressing lack of pubs with photocopiers.
Kate - Gosh, I certainly hope there a few more people at yours! Enjoy.
Kieren - You're too kind. Glad to be of service.
Yorksdevil - I know. What's that about?
great idea
just wanted to say that I always read and enjoy your posts, just don't feel the need to comment very much
now, all I gotta do is find another skint writer in the vicinity and it's off to the pub
Honestly, that's the only way to go.
Another party I've missed.
I loved my xmas party this year. And the morning after gossip is great too. Who had a barney with who? Who puked? Who said something they shouldn't ? Who went to bed with the boss? You from the looks of it !!!! ... :-)
I think you need to give yourself a good talking too - a memo to all staff is called for!
What a brilliant idea. I shall have to have an office Xmas do next year, if I can't squeeze one in this year.
Congrats on bedding your boss. That'll no doubt come in handy when it comes time for your performance review.
Very funny, once again.
Own arranged office parties (and any other parties) are frequently the best - smart move, Julia ;-)
