December Days: Day 12: The lab Christmas party begins

[nanila]

This is me and my officemate B* in our Santa hats, which we wore to the bitter end (around 9:30 PM). Our lab Christmas party begins in the office with Irish coffees, after which we traipse across Hyde Park to a seekrit squirrel location (aka a pub) for 1 PM, when we commence eating and drinking in earnest. Later, there are Bananagrams, arguments about politics, and maudlin reminiscences about Christmas parties of the past. (There are no photos of this.)

Anyway, between organising, participating in, and recovering from, this party, there hasn't much time for updating Dreamwidth. I'll endeavour to rectify this over the next few days. Happy Solstice, everyone!

* In case you're wondering why he looks like a giant, he is. He's about 6'5". I'm a foot shorter than him.

We love Bananagrams in my family and all have a set. Sounds like you had a fun day :)

We need to acquire Bananagrams for home.

It was a fantastic day, but even with me pacing myself, it did take pretty much a full day to recover from.

6'5" is a perfectly normal height for a man. Men are supposed to be a foot taller than you.

(The shortest man on my dad's side of the family bar one is six-two. The one is an unexpected outlier and has always been framed as being Very Short.....he's five-year, aka a totally normal height for everyone except us.)

I don't know why, but a high percentage of the guys who currently work or formerly worked in the lab are really tall (6'2" or over).

Tall men are such fun!

Indeed! :D
