Works do

Tonight I’ve the dubious pleasure of attending the leaving do of one of the IT team. It’s been interesting seeing the way no-one has really talked about his impending departure, and really it’s only been today that Twunty Manager™ appears to have thought “Oh shit, who’s going to cover the stuff he was doing?”, so there’s a bit of panic going on too. Which is always amusing, but there we go.

Anyway, I have to say (and I suspect no-one will be surprised by this) I don’t really do work-socialising. Yeah great, it’s a leaving-do. Whoopee. Most of the rest of the team (stop sniggering, you at the back) already socialise outside work hours, and I can’t deny, I have a problem with that. I don’t like ’em while I’m working with ’em, so why on earth would I want to spend my spare time with ’em too?

It might be an interesting evening, I suppose. I don’t think it will be, but it might be. Still, I’m sure I can derive some amusement from the event. Somehow.
