Obviously, we know I’m addicted to this writing & blogging shiznit. We know I sometimes paint myself as a victim when things get a little twisted. And I’ve tried my best not to be a Grinch and keep myself locked in on the internet which is way I (finally) decided to take my co-workers on their offer of drinks after work. Which led to the following exchanges that are both socially awkward & hilarious:

1. White Guys Dancing & Singing to MTV stars.
2. The relevance of “The Tootsie Roll” in 2009.
3. Everywhere I go, I always see someone with the name Brandon.

And then you get the usual attempt at hooking up with a co-worker (which has already been analyzed and documented here). Thing is, I’m tempted by flesh of all colors so it’s easy to break that rule and there are always some exemptions. Over one particular female co-worker of mine, it looked like a pack of hyenas going after a piece of tossed meat. But I knew better and stuck to what I knew best, a little flirting doesn’t lead to anything if you already know what’s on the table.

I got a few drinks in my system (a shot of Patron straight up & a Cranberry Vodka) and parlayed the night into some pool and dancing before heading home and sleeping things off. I feel like there’s something I haven’t really discussed in detail because I tried to open up to Kapn’ Kirk about missing his graduation party and as expected got shut down because he was pissed. You don’t get many opportunities to make something special happen (after all, I got chastised by family watching somebody else graduated nearly 365 days ago when I was unemployed) and I apologized for missing that moment.

The bullshit that occurred at the other festivities, I’m glad I was gainfully employed to miss some of those moments.

While many may have disagreed with my actions that led to a Monkey Wrench, I finally got the resolve to leave a situation alone that should have been left alone a long time ago. Now, to think about this Christmas party and the remainder of gifts I need to dish out for the folks.

Oh, and shout out to Swag 4.0 for restarting the classic “Smackdown solves most problems” days.
