Staff Dance
(I apologise.. my writing skills today are rubbish!)
Last night was the staff dance at Motherwell Civic Centre. It was a great night. I didn’t do any dancing, but I’m not a dancer. Not by a long shot. Anyway, I wasn’t wearing the right shoes to dance! I wore the prettiest dress (black, purple, grey and white bold patterned empire line) over skinny jeans with kickass black and wood wedges. I can walk fine in them but dancing? Just not going to happen.
I met up with Andy in EK bus station and went to Shenanigans with him and the boyfriend while waiting for our manageress to come pick us up. After a quick drink the boyfriend went to his mates and Andy & I headed to Linda’s house. Sitting in your bosses living room drinking Jacques cider is a strange one - it’s a bloody good job that we get on so bloody well!
After that we went to the dance and the three of us looked all lonely sitting at a big table by ourselves. We were soon joined by three people from an other shop and two from the shop along the road from us. I knew the supervisor, Colin, from there so it was all cool. Also bumped into my friend Malcolm, which was cool. I forgot that he worked in SPAR too!
After much drinking (not on my part.. I had about 5/6 vodkas and coke and half a bottle of Asti Martini and wasn’t even drunk. I know I wasn’t because a)I didn’t throw up. b) I could still walk. c)I didn’t end up sitting on somebody’s knee. d)I didn’t dance. e)I didn’t flirt outrageously with people I shouldn’t flirt with!) Andy and I tried to work out how to get home. Hah, fun times! Everybody had booked minibuses to take them wherever they were going. We nearly ended up going to the Hamilton Palace, I remember Alasdair trying to get us to go on the bus but I didn’t fancy it too much. We ended up leaving Linda outside the hall with one of the warehouse guys and getting a taxi. I think she was getting a taxi with him. I bloody hope that she did because she wouldn’t get in our taxi! The taxi driver took £30 for Motherwell to EK to Govanhill which was pretty damn good!
Anyways, I need to go shower. I’m still wearing what I had on last night because I came in, spoke to the boyfriend on the phone and fell asleep on the sofa watching Property Ladder.
