UPDATE: Know the story.. dont be the story

So apparently on Wednesday night I was the story. Thankfully towards the end of the night I was trumped by two co-workers who became "the story".

I all started with sake tasting after work. I won a sushi rolling contest and won $100 at Best Buy (oh yes, brett, that is for your christmas gift!). I was a litte excited about winning and decided to tell EVERYONE. I also thought it was a good idea to tell everyone my boss was drinking a Zima. She wasnt a fan of that at all... I paid for it on Thursday.

Soo around 9:30pm a New England Patriot line backer came into the restaurant. He stood next to me at the bar with a friend and got food and drinks. Co-workers started coming up to him and talking to him. In my drunken state I told him that I would be his bodyguard and save him from my idiot co-workers. Instead of actually saving him I made a big deal of insisting that I was his "4 foot 11 inch BODYGUARD". I was so hammered that at the end of the night Mr.Football Player asked if I was ok to go home alone. Bad right?

Thankfully for my drunken co-workers who
1. grinded the Football Player and chastised him for having a teammate that is her obnoxious neighbor
2. made out with the new Gay Guy in the office multiple times in front of everyone

... I was not The Story the next day. Hey! At least I know the story - right? hehehe

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.
