My company has the tradition of treating all its employees to a nice Christmas lunch / dinner (it used to start at 2-3pm with drinks & continued until midnight, so maybe more towards dinner?).
This year is the first year I get to join such event & this year, the Christmas lunch was combined with other companies in a big event centre with buffet Danish food + shows performed by famous Danish artists throughout the night until 1am. Free beer & wine until 9pm for everyone.
I was told that this is the best place to get to know my 'real' colleagues, especially how they act after they are drunk so I was really looking forward to it. Managed to fly back from Berlin & catch the dinner in time. Food was good & songs were nice (except they're in Danish mostly) as well. I was a little surprised to see how 'hot' some of my co-workers (from different department) dances get. Some practically 'sticks' to each other. Alchocol effect? Maybe or maybe not :p
Throughout the night, I was safely protected by my manager, so I don't have any unwanted 'disturbance' from some drunk colleagues / strangers. My only 2 dances was limitedly reserved to two of the oldest guy in my department (I can't dance, so I thought better save myself from embarrassment, lol...)
I left at about 11pm, before my colleagues get really drunk (or embarrassing?), sober. Don't have any special funny stories to share, so hopefully next year ;)
