i am home. *whew* interesting evening... complete with:
▪ drunken singing by bosses
▪ a few shots
▪ sushi
▪ me not getting too stewed (no slurring, folks!)
▪ an after party shindig in my room (with 10 people in the hotel room)
▪ the security guards being called on us 3 times
▪ more sushi
▪ the hotel manager named sal being reamed out by my one boss (slurring)
▪ sal then threatening to call the police
▪ the guy in the room next door banging on the walls (it was only 11:30pm)
▪ a spontaneous break out of "Do(e) a Deer" followed by "Thunder Road" - led by, who else? my boss
▪ my boss who has started a campaign in the office to now have everyone call me "Irish" to differentiate between me and the other Erin...
▪ more sushi....
▪ sal now calling to tell me he's definitely gonna call the cops unless they shut up or i move to a different room...
▪ me now telling sal that that's an inconvenience and i will only move if i get a price break on my room...
▪ he thinks about it and makes the wise decision that yes, he will knock $15 off the rate. good.
▪ as he's saying this the room is getting louder and i snap at everyone (including my 2 bosses - not the wisest decision) to "Shut Up! I can't hear!" and they do :)
▪ then i say how i have to move, and everyone starts to leave
▪ i move to the room below
▪ one guy chris who is leaving the company next week calls me at 1:30am trying to get me to go drinking with him
▪ i told him i had to wake up early (have the meeting in a little while) and he said he didn't care, starts yelling that we "HAVE TO DRINK!"
▪ i said i would call him in a few minutes...
▪ didn't...
▪ took the phone off the hook and went to bed....
▪ woke up at 7:30 and here i am.
▪ hangover-free and about to hop in the shower to get ready for the meeting!!
that was the evening. will show photos later!!
