Last night, yes a Tuesday night, I had our office Christmas party. I've only been here for 2 weeks today and I'm only a temporary member of staff (contract terminates 23rd January 2006) I was totally stoked about the invitation being extended. I have been working weekend contract work for the company for over a year (along with half a dozen other people who were not invited)
We finished work for the day at 5.30 and headed straight down to have pre-dinner drinks at W Bar Woolloomooloo. I'm a huge fan of Water Bar, the extensive cocktail list the welcoming ambiance, the friendly bar staff (not overly competent but the amicableness makes up for it).
Water Bar has been named "Bar of the year" for countless magazines and given "top ten bar in the world" status by Conde Naste Traveller. Built in what was once a giant wharf warehouse (for sheep shearing) the interior is simply stunning. The lighting is dreamy and the furniture not only looks the part it's also the sort you never want to leave! I had 2 Mellow Yellow cocktails, a taste of French Passion and a Lycee Martini and of course an Apple Martini, then went back to my Mellow Yellow. YUM lemonchello and strawberry liqueur....
Dinner at the famous Kingsleys Steak and Crabhouse on the finger wharf, where the kept flowing and the seafood platter was delectable. The steak cooked to perfection smothered with bernaise sauce for dessert Belgian dark chocolate mouse and a coffee to complement accompanied with my ultimate favourite side chocolate covered coffee beans.
I have been to a few work Christmas parties in my time, never had I seprofessionalional team over the age of 40 throwing the chocolate covered coffee beans? That's not all folks there were a couple rounds of Quick Fucks to top us off.
Half "the team" (I say it like I belong) went back to W Bar for another cocktail, closing at 12.00am 4 of us decide to venture out further. We went to a quaint little bar at Kings Cross, a few more vodka's and 1 member of our group crossing to another table with a couple guys who were making eyes, there was a glance at my watching saying 3.00am and it was then time for me to find my bed. Conveniently 1 of the guys lives around the corner from me, sharing the cab ride home, jumped out at the pedestriantrain crossing near my house and said our "see you tomorrows and goodnights"
Walking across the road I was thinking "was that an intentional goodbye kiss on the lips?"
