Work Christmas parties are fucking dull. You have to spend all day with these people you don’t like and then for one night a year you have to spend all evening pretending to be friendly with them too!
But Christmas parties have one benefit. Because the company I work for is fairly small we don’t host our own Christmas event but book a hotel which is hosting numerous different parties all at once. There can up to twenty different businesses all on their own tables but sharing the same function room, stupid games that no one wants to play and disco after the meal.
Every other year this has made no difference to me because I’ve been sat with my company for as long as is polite until I can just leave. But this year for the first time ever, I’ve found myself single at Christmas. So I wanted to have some fun!
I bought a new dress especially. Red sequins because Christmas, but also the smallest dress that I could wear without being arrested. It made me look like I was 90% legs which is impressive for someone as short as me!
