Christmas party sweepstake kisses and vomit


This morning I arrive late as usual to find Jamie looking shift and quickly hiding his computer screen from me.

“What’s that?” I demand
“Nothing.” He says
This is weird Jamie and Rob both look like they were caught with their hands in the cookie jar and Simon is blushing. Ethan looks half disapproving and Ted is nowhere to be seen.

So where’s Ted? I ask

Ethan laughs, “He has a hangover he’ll be in late.”
We all join in laughing

Poor Ted, he had a work event last night and was lecturing all of us on how to learn self control. Apparently he needs to learn this himself.

I offer to make tea and Simon comes to help.
“So what’s the chart?” ask him
Simon looks guilty. “What chart?”
“You are a worse liar than I am!” I say “I thought that was impossible.”
He blushes, “I promised not to tell.”
I do my best pathetic look much to his apparent amusement
“Please tell me?”
He shrugs,
“Christmas party sweepstake.”
The what?
“Sweepstake who will get drunkest throw up, hook up.” He avoids my eyes at the last part.
“Let me guess Rob?” I say

I march over to Jamie’s desk, “Show me the sweepstake now!”
He laughs “Simon cracked after five minutes? Damn I had thirty seconds.”
“Show me it right now or I will pour this hot tea on you.” I say
He laughs and opens up the screen.

  4. I used to love talking about things like 'most likely to hook up' scenarios at work. That's one of the ways my wife and I first bonded. (I don't think anybody would've given me a chance with her though.)

  5. I guess they have your ability to hold your booze in high esteem.

  8. Put the money on yourself, then: snog Simon five minutes after arrivig, neck 20 shots of sambuca in quick succession and swiftly vomit into a strategically placed bin.

    Two bets won in less than half an hour. Good work.

    Or not. Just an idea...

  15. I wouldn't be annoyed, you're all in there! It would be different if the stake was about how long it would take for YOU to throw up or make out with Rob.

    And hmm, I haven't followed this blog long enough to guess any good bets. You and Rob? ;)
    (at least it would be all according to any movie ever written)

  21. Just be thankful you weren't odds on for "Most likely to call everyone bastards whilst falling down the stairs and shitting themselves at the same time"

    Now that would be embarrassing.

  23. Sadly X'mas parties not a big rage in India though no stones left unturned for New Year

  24. I always go with the most likely to hook up is the woman that has the lowest esteem level and the highest alchohol intake that is attracted to the least attractive male. It is hard to read that from a blog.

    But that is just a theory and NOT truth.
