Leaving work drinks


I've had to learn the different ways that the Brits do things to us. One of them is that when you leave a job, you have leaving drinks. But along with leaving drinks, your workmates get you leaving pressies. My coworkers bought me some lovely pressies - a silver Tiffany pen as well as a lovely work shirt.

For me, the leaving drinks involved inviting out all of the people at my office as well as people that I have worked with over the past 15 months. I was a bit worried at first that this would end up costing me a fortune (as the leaver pays the tab) but luckily people pitched in and bought rounds here and there. While it was still quite pricey, it didn't break the bank.


We started off at 5:30 at a little pub/bar called The Old Tea Warehouse which wasn't the most exciting as they didn't play any music and it was quieter for a Thursday than I am used to. There was about 20 people on and off as people come and go....and it was really great for everybody that made it to show up.


At about 10ish those of us that were left (about 6 or 7....remember it takes hours for some people to get home) went to a nightclub called Agenda. We had a blast! We danced, drank and took some awful photos!!
At about 1:30 my friend Laura and I left Agenda for home. We were all relatively pissed but I had to get home and pack as I had to leave for Paris the next day.

Wicked time was had by yours truly....will miss the old gang but am really excited to start my new job!
