embarrassed...

[cybergirly]

A couple of weeks ago I attended a charity fund raiser sponsored by the company I work for. It was a black-tie event held at a local hotel. The hotel bar had generously agreed to donate 100% of the night’s income to the event. So I drank...a lot! I thought I remembered the evening clearly, and other than one vague memory of my bosses husbands hand being up my skirt, I thought I had been fairly self-controlled.
Today I stopped by my office to pick up some paperwork I need for a presentation tomorrow, lying on my desk is a manila envelope. Well I open the envelope, and what do I find? Pictures! Apparently I do not remember the evening at all. There are several photos of me hanging on men I would swear I’ve never met. In one, some guy appears to have his tongue down my throat...but wait the worst is yet to come. There is one picture of me and the CEO of the company I work for, whom I’ve never personally met (or so I thought) and he looks to be licking my inner thigh. Now the comments from co-workers over the last couple of weeks, make so much more sense. I am so embarrassed! These are people I work with! I’m tempted to quit, change my name and move out of the country. Ok so I’m not that embarrassed, but I would give almost anything not to have seen those pictures.

What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done while around people you work with?

I'm not worried about the CEO. He was just in town for the event, luckily he works out of a different state. (and he's married)

I don't know who gave me the pictures, but I INTEND to find out!

I'm not ashamed, just a little embarrassed. It was very clearly stated, that this was not a company event and that we should not feel that we were there representing the company. And judging by the photos, I wasn't the only one that was that drunk.

A few years ago I was working on a project that had been called off for the day due to rain. The group decided to have a bit of a party at one of the five or six houses that we occupied in a small town. I was in one of those moods where I knew that I shouldn't have been drinking, but that really didn't stop me. We usually went to work at 6:30 am, and we had all assembled to go to the site, so the party started by 7am or so.

By the afternoon I had worked myself into such a stupor that I had a verbal go at one of the guys on the crew that I didn't like, knocked down some shelving in one of the houses (accidentally I think?), laid down in the pouring rain outside the house I was staying in muttering to myself and passed out...The next morning I had no recollection of anything. I knew that when I woke up I only had one shoe on, but didn't know why. I am still not sure of what happened that day, as no one was taking pictures, but after a few weeks it faded into memory. Granted...probably a bit different for guys, but my embarassment faded and people were forgiving in the end.

in my experience, the stories kinda stay with you. A co worker and i had a bit too much at a company dinner and were stopped by the police while trying to hail a cab outside.

i talked my way out of a ticket and he talked himself into a night in jail.

Nothing negative happened at the company to him, but the story always pops up everynow and then.

so if you are ok with the story popping up, then it should be ok.

I'm ok with the story popping up. And I'll admit I've heard worse about other employees. And since the company I work for is so large most of those stories are treated as "just" office gossip, and generally not believed to be true anyway. But there are pictures involved, and I don't know who took them, who gave them to me, or who else has them.

gotta disagree with you on one point, if a lot of people at your office were there then it IS a company event. We have had a couple of xmas parties after work, informal get togethers and other things, but in the back of my mind has allways been "i've got to work with these people tomorrow morning"

I'd brush up on my resume, just in case this doesn't blow over. being known as a "party girl" at the office isn't good. There is a girl where i work who everybody knows slept her way to her current position. Everybody treats her differently than her peers. Even the hint of that kind of rep will cause nothing but hard feelings and eventual resentment and any good that comes your way at work.

. But there are pictures involved, and I don't know who took them, who gave them to me, or who else has them.

just curious, are you glad you saw them? or would you have rather not known?

 

[Dougy]

You are British arent ya Dougy?

No, I'm not actually. Is it those damned 'u's? Not sure where I picked that up, but I have resigned myself to using British spellings.

 

[cybergirly]

I would rather not have seen the pictures.

All the comments I've heard about the evening from co-workers have been good natured. I don't think this will effect my position at work. It's been 3 weeks, and with office politics the way they are, I'm sure I would have "felt" the effects by now.
Also I'm damn good at my job, and everyone knows I could easily get a job (and have been approached) with any of our competitors.

Also there were over 500 people in attendance, and only 20 or so people from the company.

Her very last sentence stated she wish she had not seen the pictures......

The picture culprit was probably the other person from lit that won't tell you his handle.

What, hailing while intoxicatd? What were you supposed to do, DRIVE home?

 

[cybergirly]

talk about making her really feel paranoid.........

and btw.........another good reason to NOT post picture on av.

That's actually from something I said some where else. I know someone I work with also posts on this site, and I'm fine with him knowing I do. He just won't tell me what his user name is...

ROFL, LukkyKnight!

[cybergirly]

I dont think that is right at all.

you must get to the bottom of this immediately.

I have my suspicions...
From things that have been said here and in r/l I'm 99% sure I know who it is.

Or this could just be a trap to lure him out...

[cybergirly]

shhhhhh...

He might hear you...

Just don't step in that hole yourself by mistake.

Siren is correct, drinking at any company function, or any function where the CEO of your company is going to be attending, isn't a great idea. Also, by staying sober and listening, I've learned all kinds of interesting things at various company events over the years. Use the fact that many others are drunk to your advantage.

If you only did it once, you are probably okay. Get a reputation for being the office drunk and you're dead meat when it comes to promotions, etc. Won't matter how well you do your job at that point, perception is everything.
