Know the story... dont be the story

I am sitting at my desk. I have had two beers (yes, at work). I just got back from a small gossip fest in someone else's office. A couple of years ago when I started here I obviously went out a lot more than I do now. Things were a little more wild and there was a lot more liquor flowing (yes - more than 2 beers before 5:30pm on a Wednesday).

Today I am a "I go out once a week" type of girl since I'm a Single Mom now. Tonight is my night. We have drinks at 6pm and then Sake tasting at 7pm. Its going to be a drunk night. We were tasked by some people not attending to get as much gossip as possible.

I am very proud to say that I have kept to my personal motto very well. Know the story... dont be the story. I cant say the same for 90% of my colleagues. Someone is dating someone, someone puked on someone, there was making out in the corner, did you see her fall? Thankfully there is no Britney-esq panty problems here at The Agency. I have never let myself be the center of a story here at The Agency. I have done some stupid things and I'm pretty sure if I was a "sure I'd like a shot" type of girl I'd have done a lot worse things. I like knowing the story... hopefully tomorrow I have another good one.
