There are multiple blank periods & I don't know what is the truth & what is a lie. I may or may not have done the following after the official function ended.

Projectile vomited in public (I seriously doubt that as my hangover was not too bad)
Incoherent drug induced amnesic babbling to a manager about "lets cook up some crack & hit bellringers til lunchtime" (would not surprise me at all)
Getting a handjob at the bar (I hope so)
Told a person I don't like that they need a last cigarette & blindfold (very likely)
Being all over & fingering a married colleague in a taxi (I really hope not as she is a lovely person but married)

No one will give me a straight answer & the person I trust to tell the truth was as fucked up as I was & has even less memory of what we did. We were all drunk but I have not had any complaints made against me so I should be sweet.

I wish that my people could cut loose a bit at my Christmas parties. Not quite that much of a bit but more of a bit. Of course it takes a certain level of sobriety to do what we do, and you don't come down off of that easily; especially in the company of SmartyBeardo.

The more I think about it the more I reckon I am being wound up by some mates on 90% of it. The fact is there has been no mention on it from a HR point. I sure enjoyed myself & there were plenty of people who were just as loose. I am a bit worried if I was telling a manager we need to get our bells rung because I was thinking some coke would be nice that afternoon. My mate who crashed at mine told me I forced him to smoke weed with me & then offered him valium which could have killed him considering he only drinks(Benzos & alcohol are extremely dangerous together moreso if you have no tolerance for benzos). I saw one guy from IT get carried out he was so trashed & I know at least 2 Chrissy party shags for sure happened as I did have some crystal clear moments at the end of the night.

Fitz knows it is tradition to get blind at the Xmas party in Oz so who cares. I bet you are the kind of boss Beardo who expects his staff to work hard & in return provide a no limit bar & high quality night for all as a token of appreciation.

Yeah, but my people don't cut loose at the party. Quite a few are not drinkers and the rest just have a few. We might get one person a year that gets somewhat out of hand.

It is a great team but they are mostly family people and wary . . . very wary.

What kind of business do you run, Beardo?

I thought that I described pretty clearly what my business is about, above. In a way, we could be considered part of the problem that I described in the politics thread. We are private contractors. We solve problems in a fashion described in the religion thread; we maintain and alter bundles of frequencies.

We are a yard maintenance organization. We trim the trees. We pull the weeds. We manage the moles. We alleviate the pests.

That's what I thought, which is why it seemed strange that you were calling it a problem...

What would you do if the US stopped employing private contractors? Work for another government?
