There is no more accurate way for me to describe the way I feel today other than kak.
The fancy dinner thing was awesome - I was sat between a work colleague and a man from another publishers who turned out to be very interesting and fun to talk to - I definitely got the better deal as one of my colleagues was sat across the table next to a very stuffy looking individual.
There was a minor celeb compere-ing, so that was good. The food was ok for a mass produced dinner. The wine... let's just say I made good friends with the wine.
Which has led me to the most severe case of losers this morning. Having to apologise to colleagues for time costing in the cab (hey - I just moved, my subconscious hasn't had time to absorb my new address!) and nursing a code orange hangover has left me wondering if drinking to this level at a work function is a good idea. Sure, there were people from my company who were worse off than I, but I don't know if that's really a good justification for being steamed in front of your boss.
I used to think that people who looked down on the company drinkers were uptight, bossy types; I think I may be coming around to stepping off of that 'let's get retarded' platform I hopped onto when 16 and throw in a coke or two at these evenings in the future.
Just another realisational moment that I'm supposed to be an adult now.
