Pros and cons of the “Thursday office party"

Pros:-

- 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”!

Tequila Surprise

I just had a look on my phone and realised I’d taken some photos from my 'Tequila-soaked' Friday evening. I met up with my friends for drinks in Canary Wharf and we stumbled on some Jazz Festival . It looked pretty nice and outdoorsy so I assume that’s why I took a photo of it? (I can’t remember – I was pretty “merry” (i.e. drunk) at this point)

We went from some ‘liquid dinner’ (accompanied by actual dinner, not to worry) in a Mexican restaurant and had a Tequila surprise i.e. several shots of Tequila and some red drink - which we were told was Sangria but tasted like a Bloody Mary, maybe that was the surprise! Anyway, it was amazing… I think! To be honest, it’s tequila – it’s as ‘amazing’ (or not) as tequila gets.... lol! I shoulda stopped at just one but we went for a few…

As we stumbled off home it turns out I took another photo… In retrospect, I’m glad I used my phone to take photos instead of sending drunk text messages, lol - that never ends well! 

So what did I get up to over the weekend?

I’ll let you see for yourself! It was so much fun and a fantastic coincidence as it turns out it was gay pride on Saturday so there was a massive street party in central London already and we arrived there just in time to join in! 

Start of the night!

Filthy street!!! The party's already underway...

We could barely move through the crowd

Mmmm... Saucy! Stepped in for a sneaky peek... (I was quite drunk by this point I might add.

A big fear of mine - broken iphone (okay, that's just the case but I imagine the phone can't look too good if the case's that broken)

Random reveller who absolutely loved the camera

Drunk. Fallen. Over.

At the club

On the way home in the morning... Half asleep at this point! (But with my McDonalds help me fight 'future hangover')

So on Sunday, I went to see Janet Jackson in concert! She was amazing!!!

The concert was in the Royal Albert Hall however there was an intermission half way through (what's that about?!?!)

Headed back home and saw a guy with the shortest short shorts!


And that's about it!!! Another weekend that left me aching (physically)... So, what did you guys get up to last weekend?

Short Blog Update:- Saw this video the other day and I’m sure some people must have seen this already but woman and I could have been cut from the same cloth! Enjoy!
