Last night was work's Xmas dinner. I got bored and drank cocktails. This morning my head is teh fuzzy.

For Xmas this year, work bought me one of these:

Only problem with that is, I don't wear a watch. Especially not one that bulky.

I said 'thanks' and waited until everyone else had finished going 'ooh' and 'ahh' over their presents, then when my boss came over to ask to have a look at the watch I told him that I probably wouldn't wear it. Felt quite guilty, but it's an 80 quid present, it'd be stupid to just stick it on a shelf and ignore it - wouldn't it? He said they'll send it back after Xmas and exchange it for anything of similar value, but I still feel like I just told him Santa doesn't exist. He said they thought I'd like it because "it's black, with blue LEDs, and it's geeky"... all fair points. :)

They bought two of my colleagues these by the way:

Not sure why I didn't get the third colour... maybe they were having a dig at my time-keeping skills by getting me the watch. :)

What would you do if work bought you a crap present? What about if they bought you a really cool present that just wasn't right for you? Should I have kept my mouth shut and stuck it on a shelf? Bit tricky with something you'd normally wear every day though, they're bound to notice...

Last time I got drunk was probably three or four years ago :)

That's not true - remember the night of the toffee apple cocktails? That was not so very long ago...

Oh dear - am I in fact an alcoholic in denial of my regular binges? :-P

Thinking about it, wasn't that March-ish?

Admittedly not years ago, but not exactly recent either :)
