Wow...now my non midweek drinking? Im shelving it for tonight as we have a big work do...so I have already imposed some rules on myself for the evening.

1. NO dance off before anyone else is on the dance floor. Its not big, its not clever, sure its funny but they are laughing at you  Alice...not with you.
2. If you feel like the floor is moving underneath you, youve fallen on top of someone. Brush yourself off, smile, laugh, hope its a male (dont trip again) and go home
3. DONT talk to those 5 people you listed earlier...no matter how much of a good idea it is. This is not the right time to start talking to them, you will not solve any issues after the magic of tequila, and that other one? He's frankly illegal. Step away cougar.
4. Drinking. At a work do it is NEVER a good idea to minesweep. Never.
5. Do not try to charm anyone of importance, a cheeky wink will not win you a promotion. It will however win you a Tuesday morning meeting with HR.
6. Dont cry into your wine, it wont win him over with your "defenceless look"

But most important of all? You will most certainly do at least all of the 6 points listed above, just make sure you drink way too much, and make all others around you drink way too much so there will be no memory of the above.

Heres to the "Fear" tomorrow morning, HR, ill see you at 9.30 am.
