    Christmas works drinks...

    ...not something I usually get involved in. I like to try to remain as professional as possible at all times, innit.


    Sadly last night I ignored my own advice and joined some colleagues for a few 'quiet' drinks.


    This has resulted in me waking up in bed with one of said colleagues, after roughly one hour of sleep.


    Dear CUK community, please help me through what is sure to be a fairly testing day in the office.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Given the 2-3 minutes average reported here, I'd say it sounds like you scored

            One hour. ONE HOUR.


            UGH.

              oops.

              It happens, now are you ashamed of choosing that particular colleague or getting jiggy in general?

              Was He/She/They any good?

              Happened to me, luckily I quite liked the Girl and we dated for a while. We just had a short first date

              And as a contractor you can move on fairly quickly.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                One for the wank bank then. Well done!

                You only have to put up with it for today, when presumably most people aren't about anyway. Then it'll be the new year and forgotten about.

                PS - are they married to anyone else?

                  This, really. I have to work quite closely with him.


                  I was good, which is the main thing.

                    Hopefully, yes!


                    No - divorced thankfully.
