For me at least. Every year I fear the company Christmas party, I don't have much in common with the other guys, they're all great guys but I only see them when they have contracting jobs in the area. I also hate group functions and this year was even worse because I had to go alone. Usually I had a co-worker to go with but not this year. So I had to drive to London by myself, at night, in the snow, and I hate driving at night when I don't know an area very well. I'm also not a drinker and the rest being construction workers are, lol.
But I did it, I went by myself. People kept mentioning how quiet I was, some of them know I can be quite the talker. I was mostly standing by myself wishing I could duck out. My boss finally arrived and talked with me for a bit, his wife almost didn't recognize me, she used to seeing me with my glasses on. The boss also likes to call us up when handing out our Christmas bonus and make a speach, I really hate that, I don't like being singled out. Had quite a few laughs, the bosses youngest son did an impression of his dad, which had people in tears we were laughing so hard. I still can't believe I went, I made through the night.
Okay, it's late and I'm going to bed now, gotta work in the morning.
