My work's Christmas party last night - think I need to apologise to someone....

[bailey]

Had my work's Christmas do last night, about 40 of us went out up North where the office is.

All got thrown out of bar at 1am, load of us went back to someone's hotel room and emptied the mini-bar. Finished at 4ish and then had to walk 3-4 miles back to my hotel as there were no cabs. Got to my room at 5 something-or-other and then had to be at airport for an 8am flight back to Gatwick.

Got home at 11 having had 1 hours sleep on the plane (rummaged around in the seat pocket and managed to find a sick bag just in case!). Have just finished a conference call with my boss (who was not at the party and thus doesn't give a shit for my circumstances).

So far so good, however, I vaguely remember upsetting one of the girls from the office. Recall apologising to her last night for what seemed like ages and I do remember the words "I can't believe you did that" but I have very little idea what I did

Anyhow so I'm thinking I should phone her and apologise before my name becomes mud around the office but then I'm thinking I'm chicken-shit and I really don't want to make the call.

NSC Help! What should I do?

She was probably shit faced too. Turn the situation around and accuse HER!

Then her name will be mud and she'll offer you a compensatory blowie as way of apology. Everyone's a winner...

Direct her to www.analaction.com just to show that lots of people do it, although not always involving three sticks of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit and a can of Mr. Sheen

Find a trusting fellow from the party, who might be able to shed some light, on the situation. Sounds like you put a hand up someones skirt!

Hmmm, I like your thinking. So, I could phone her and go "hi, sorry we had a bit of an argument last night and if she says "yeah, i really don't remember what it was about" then I can tell her it was all her fault and then the blowies mine!

Hmmmm, worth a shot.

Not the end of the world if i did - she's pretty fit. In fact, there's a very good chance it was something along those lines. Either that or I made a leud suggestion.

Tell her that you're sorry that her father died a year ago yesterday and you didn't realise this when the expression "who's your daddy" slipped out of your mouth as you bent her over the photo copier.

It wasn't Kim Sartori was it?

Keep quiet, don't draw any more attention to it. It'll blow over. Everyone knows you are licensed to behave like a drunken clown at Xmas parties. That's what they're for.

If anyone says anything just say

"Yeah and so what. She was gagging for it at the time."

....except it was boss's wife ...............

So I just spoke to one of my colleagues who said "what did happened with you and x last night, she looked pissed off with you"

me "so you didn't see what I did?"

him "no, but i saw her telling y about it later on"

oh f***, i'm just gonna have to call her!

 

[bailey]

OK, so i've just spoken to her and she was in the pub for a bit of hair of the dog.

anyway bit of chit-chat and she's sounding friendly enough so i go "i wanted to apologise if i did anything inappropriate last night" and she goes "yeah, but you know, i can't remember what it was and it might have been me" (GET IN!)

then she's like "you were being a cheeky" and i go "do you like it cheeky" and she says "yeah, i think it's cute"

anyway, long story short - it's her birthday next week and i'm taking her out for a drink.

RESULT!
