Whats wrong with just getting pissed then porking the FFC in a misguided attempt to understand her?

I usually mumble "just have to check with the missus" before committing to anything I patently don't want to be involved in, only to find "I'm already booked into her Christmas do, sorry".

Go at 2:30 anyway and start downing shots of vodka immediately. (On the company tab of course). Give FFC a piece of your mind when she turns up. She'll run off crying by 5pm.

You're a pemie - go sick.

if she's useless can't you give her a bad review then sack her?

**BrilloPad** · 20 November 2009, 13:05

I bet she says the same about you.

The following is what I would do:

Book the afternoon off (to show what a conscientious chappie you are).

On the day, go to the pub at lunch time with some of the normal people you work with.

Get ratfaced as fast as you can.

Then at about 13:45 either everyone goes back to work or one or two dipsoes stay in the pub with me.

If everyone goes back to work just say "I just need to pop to the shop to get a wotnot - I'll catch you up" then go home. Next day deny remembering going to the pub at all.

If any dipsoes stay with you in the pub, continue to get more rat-faced.

The 4pm event problem will then magically solve itself.

easy. you have prior commitments that evening that cannot be moved.

Just say no. Why do you need a plan?
