Curses and zombies

[bookzombie]

The curse of the work Christmas Party strikes again.

Last year P. was sick and couldn't go to mine and neither of us ended up going to hers.

The year before I was sick and didn't go to either.

My 'do' is tonight and P. had to go home sick part way through the day, so I'm going by myself. People are going to start thinking that she doesn't exist again...

I also had 28 Days Later moment this afternoon. I deliberately took a late lunch so that I could do a bit of shopping in town. I arrived back in the office to find my floor (200-odd people) completely deserted! 

Of course the actual explanation was quite prosaic: it turns out that there was a fire alarm and I just got in ahead of everyone else being let back into the building. But just for a moment...

Something always happens to prevent us going to J's work parties, and the only one of mine he's ever been invited to he fell off his bike and broke a bone in his wrist on the way!

Actually, we did make it to his work do the first year. However, neither of us had realised that rather than a meal and a few drinks, it was a sort of formal extravaganza. Everyone else was in suits and evening dresses... I was wearing a multicoloured skirt and a T-shirt.

We've not been that bothered about whether we go or not, since then!
