The Last Week/Weekend & An Interesting Frst Impression

I don't really update this very often anymore - I guess the novelty is wearing thin... and I'm getting my usual summer heat laziness.

However there are a few things that need to be written down as there were a few incidents that still make me laugh thinking about them.

The end of last week was taken up by not much work, our year end work do, and a birthday night out.

Work seems like a breeze at the moment as I don't have much to do compared to my 60 hour weeks so I get to relax, take breaks and even get away from my desk for extended periods of time.

So lets move on to Thursday night's work do. This was a very interesting and entertaining night - although I wasn't drinking at all this was the one night I've had so far that I've really wanted to drink.

It started fairly innocuously - we had invited the new intern to come out with us even though he wasn't starting officially until this Monday. So myself and the current intern were chatting to him and getting to know him. Other colleagues were really getting into the party mood and drinking heavily and quickly - this provided much entertainment for everyone as he was hilarious.

The new intern and the current intern were having a chat in the front window when I went out for a smoke - when I returned they had company, although this didn't last long as the young lady was soon escorted out... Curious we all tried to figure out what had happened and as it transpires this young lady had walked straight up to those boys and grabbed on by the arse, and the other by the balls and propositioned the two of them... One of them made all sorts of excuses why they couldn't even pulling out the last resort of claiming to be gay and involved with the other... Soon enough however the young lady was escorted out by the management.

Now that was a great first impression! Being molested by a random in front of everyone they work with... including the UK manager... These two were absolutely loving it though and proceeded to tell the story over and over again all night long...

The three of us soon ditched the work do and instead headed to meet the other interns in another bar. Still not drinking and surrounded by interns 6/7 years younger than me I really felt old! I met quite a few of them and they all seem pretty sound so all was good with the world.

Friday night was my mate Tommy's birthday, so I enjoyed my first pints in a month. Luckily for me we were in Zero Degrees so I could have some of my favourite drinks - Black Lager. There were some appearances of people I hadn't seen in a while which was really good - and I found out that a friend of mine had just recovered from swine flu, and that its not quite as bad as people think...

The rest of the weekend was spent sorting out my speech for the upcoming wedding - which could well be tricky as I won't be drinking - but I may have a word with my sister so that I can at least drink the toasts.

Writing speeches is hard, I sometimes stutter a bit too so I'm going to have to sort this out in a way that I'm not talking for too long...

I will be saving the missing kidney story for the Wedding itself - so this should be pretty good.

The stag do is this weekend and we have everything organised so hopefully it'll run without any hitches and everyone will enjoy it. Not drinking will be a bitch though. Hopefully I can make it through - although it may be handy having someone not pissed to help with the organisation and itinerary...

Fingers crossed...
