Admin Networking Event
Today, eight of us admins from work were chauffeured around in a limo - we went wine tasting. We call this an Admin Networking Event. Our managers: "Have fun!"
Okie doke!
I have to tell ya, I became inebriated after we hit the first winery. It was my first time ever to go wine tasting. I drank everything that was poured into my glass. I did stop occassionally to rinse it out with water so that I could taste each wine with great meticulousness, but after my fifth wine, I couldn't taste any difference in them, unless of course, if the wine was red or white - har har har.
I did invest in two bottles; one was a 1998 red table wine and the other one an almond flavor champagne. I'd like to fix lasagne to go with the red wine, but since my cooking skills are not too keen, I'm gonna wait until Kim (my sister) arrives tomorrow. She's a damned good cook.
Our limo driver, Larry, was as pleasant as can be and received on top of the gratuity we paid him a gift of $50 + because we all seemed to have fucked up and had to cough up $1 each time we did. See, the rule was we couldn't mention where we work or anything having to do with work. We failed pretty miserably.
Poor Larry, he was trying to do the gentlemanly thing by helping me remove my jacket for me, but I didn't realize it and was swatting at him while saying, "What are you doin'?"
"Karen," An admin from global IT says to me, "he's trying to help you off with your jacket - Don't kill the limo driver!"
Then, I nearly had a panic attack when I couldn't find my purchases that I had made until someone tells me, "Geez Karen - Larry took them to the limo for you."
Do I get out enough or what?
