I have my work do on tonight. My boss asked me to book his favourite Chinese Restaurant instead of going somewhere for the usual turkey dinner.

My Department is really top heavy management wise – infact I am the only pleb out of the 12 people that were supposedly going.

There’s now going to be 6 – I don’t even think that my boss is going, as he went home sick earlier on today. I avoided last year’s effort as I told everyone it was too far away for me to go. – Plus the fact that I was just not bothered …

This year I thought I’d give it a go-

I really should have thought harder about that idea. - I don’t think that I can hack the back-stabbing that these people will be doing about others tonight- about others in the Dept and about people within the rest of the organisation. My general Paranoia will be extreme- and that only means one thing. Incessant talking from me. How I wish I could be the sort of person who goes quiet when their embarrassed/nervous. No I talk non- stop and usually end up saying something totally stupid.

This is going to be excruciating but I can’t back out now

Wish me luck! :roll:
