Tuned in...
with Drivetime DJ Andy Walker
The Christmas party season is upon us and you
know what that means – office gossip! Every Christmas party has an
incident; Kelly from accounts ends up snogging Kenny from IT or the
quiet one ends up busting some dance moves after a few
Martinis.
Let’s not forget the secretary who always likes a drink and
insists on dragging up the younger ones from the office. Then there
is the guy who wears his tie around his head like he is Rambo and
feels like he is Robbie Williams on the dance floor – but he’s more
like a typical dad dancing. Then there is the one who stays only
five minutes because they “have to be up early” – it’s a
Friday!
Then there is the straight laced individual who will not drink
or even dance. They are happy to be propping up the bar and talking
to their work colleagues as and when they approach the bar. How
about the couple who are blatantly seeing each other at work but at
the Christmas party they make a conscience effort not to talk to
each other to ‘keep up their story.’
The ones who surprise us the most are those who are very quiet
at work and then come a social event they are on a chair singing
along to the Christmas classics played by the DJ like they are
Celine Dion. Come Monday, they deny they were really “that
bad.”
Finally there’s the woman from marketing who ‘really wants the
night to last for ever’. It’s 1am and everywhere is closed, yet she
knows a pub that will probably have a lock-in and so “we should all
go there.” Those who reply, “no, it’s late, I’m going” are branded
“boring.” In the end and under some protest, she heads home, only
to text everyone at the party the next morning to apologise for her
bad behaviour.
Whichever one of these characters turned up at your office do -
why not give me a call on my Drivetime show and tell me all about
it? Only the clean bits of course!
