- Getting to leave work early. Whatever the excuse is leaving work early is always a big plus!
- Free bar – need I say more?!
- …Okay, past the above two points, I’m kinda struggling here.
Cons
- Friday morning hangovers...*bleurgh!* Hangovers should be spent in bed, not at your desk in front of your computer pretending to work and doing anything to get rid of that gnawing feeling in your head.
- Ridiculous end of the week meetings. I’ve somehow developed the ability to nod and smile while tuning out everything that’s being said to me.
- Too sick to drink coffee and too tired to stay awake. There’s no winning with this situation.- Other people who were out with you and seemed as drunk as you were but are somehow absolutely fine on Friday – and they insist on showing this off!
Unlike the above, I actually went back to work still drunk (the hangover slowly and surely in a few hours) and once I found myself almost going to kiss my director (at 8.30am!) I figured it was probably time to go to the loo and have a little sober-up-nap else I was pretty sure I’d be jobless by the end of the day. Official verdict – I detest “Thursday office parties”!

Oh, dear! I'm so sorry. How miserable to feel at work on a Friday :(
Um, and thanks for finding me! I LOVE London and can't wait to read about more of your adventures...I just hope you feel better for most of them, lol :D
Hahah, I love when people admit going into work still drunk. I'm guilty of it myself. Haha. Anyways, thanks for the follow. I love your blog AND your name!
at least you didn't end up kissing the pavement! :O lol
Yep, Thursday office parties aren't a win in my book either.
Oh yes, definitely watch the alcohol! Hope you felt better!
LOL more cons than pros is never a good thing ha ha

Ahhhh, the days of wine and roses....Remember them well :) Looking forward to sneaking around in this nice little spot of London :)
Hi Lola,
My answer to hangover is coffee and sleeping. Oh, and a lot of water!
Hey Lola. I know what mean about people you'd been drinking with looking/feeling fine the next day, when you're pounding Advil and water and just trying to slog through. I double hate that. :D
Funny - the almost-kiss.
Your post made me smile!

Hahaha! That was hilarious.
seriously, i hate it when meetings are scheduled on fridays. I mean, don't they know i do absolutely no work on fridays?
Hi Lola! I LOVE your live traffic feed. *want one* Thanks for stopping by my blog. Very cool you live in London. It's been 20 yrs since I was in the U.K. - I need to go back!
Bahahaha! Love this!
Also, you've just earned yourself I new blog stalker... if for no other reason than I LOVE London (lived there back in the day) and I will now be living my life vicariously through your London adventures! Haha!
Too funny! I tried the Thursday office party thing a couple times--never a great idea. Especially when there are early, Friday morning meetings. Ugh.
Oh yes. That hideous Friday morning furry mouth feeling...
Ha! You made me laugh:)
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your cons definitely outnumber the pros of a Thursday office party. I shutter to think of sitting through a Friday office meeting after a night of drinking.
Take care, Lola, and I'll look for you on Twitter.

Getting to leave work early IS always a great thing! The hangover doesn't sound quite as fun. Makes a girl glad she doesn't drink. ;) Rockin' blog you've got here!
Hi Lola, Thanks so much for your lovely comment on Part One of my Jack story. I hope you'll return for Parts Two and Three. Okay, so about the Thursday Office Party: Why on Thursday? That seems crazy to me! It's just asking for a non-productive Friday... I'd probably call in "sick."
@Barbara, thanks!!! And I can't wait to tell them. I promise to feel better…lol!
@chasing empty pavements, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I felt a bit wrong going in drunk but I had no choice. lol! Thanks!!!!!!!
@laughingwofl - silver lining eh? Hehehe!
@Lynda, alleged author and Chari T, definitely agree!!!!
@Siv maria thanks!
@Angela, I would love to have slept but I couldn't properly (not at work anyway) and I couldn't drink coffee as it just made me feel queasy - I did have lots of water though!
@cherylanne, Oh yeah! It just makes you feel even worse! lol!
@Peaches, aura, peggy and Deana - thanks!!! Much appreciated!
@Sarah, my sentiments exactly!!! Fridays aren't made for working! They're made for planning the weekend! lol!
@melodie, it's fairly easy. Just go to the website and sign up! Thanks!!! Glad you like it!
@Cynthia, Gail, Kate and Katie , it's always awful! lol! Always…
@Kimberly, thanks!!! (The hangover was awful!)
THANKS FOR THE AWESOME COMMENTS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! I remember when I worked at an office, and all the single people would go out for happy hour. They always suffered the next day.
hahaha. so true. Lol I love the way you wrote I "detest" instead of "hate", very cute you almost sound French, so cute. xoxo from NY - don't even know if they will allow me to go back to London tomorrow evening . oh well...
Thankfully, you didn't actually go and do the kissing thing. Dunno how you'd have gotten out of that one!
