Esther Gets Drunk at The Office Christmas Party - Part 2

READ PART 1 FIRST! - Esther Gets Drunk at The Office Christmas Party - Part 1

While drunk yelling, standing, and pointing at a random lady that she did not know was the Human Resources Director, Esther was scolded by the party supervisor who said, “We don’t act like that around here. Sit down!”


Go home, Esther! You're drunk!

After finishing the meal, Esther began to look for her purse which had been lost at some point during the last 10 hours of drinking. She decided to look around the restaurant, but did not realize that little-by-little her coworkers were leaving and getting back on the buses to go home. Since she was the only one from the whole company left, a restaurant employees noticed her stumbling around and escorted her to the buses. But it was too late. When they made it outside, the last bus was leaving the parking lot. Oh no! Now what?



Esther did not find her purse, so she had no money, keys, or transportation to get home. She was about 1.5 hours away from home, drunk, and stranded. With no other options, the restaurant staff took pity on her and found a employee to drive her home. The next day she had to go to work and it was not pretty.
Since the office party was on a Thursday, Esther had to wake up on Friday to go to the office. Arriving around 10:30 a.m. with the worst hangover ever, she sneaked into the office. Then came the consequences from the night before -- she would have to email HR ask if anyone had found her purse. She tried to write the most polite email possible, not knowing that there was already some controversy about her stirring in the HR department.


Thankfully, someone found her purse and they were going to send it to her, but the email reply from HR was not so friendly -- clearly something had changed. But why? It was only later that Esther realized that the lady she yelled at was the Director of Human Resources. 1 month would pass before she found out.


During the next month, things started to change. Esther noticed that her manager was becoming increasingly frustrated with her for no reason -- even growling at her at one point when she asked what the conference call number was! Then, one of her coworkers told her that there were rumors about her from the Christmas party. Still, she did not think that was a big deal. She said, 'So what if I got drunk at a Christmas party. Who cares? It’s not like I was the only one. Noone is going to notice.'


Well, she was wrong. The logic may have been reasonable since she was drinking with her whole team, which was 5 other people who were also drunk. However, a couple of weeks later after another office party that got out of hand with some visiting Mexican coworkers, open tequila bar, and mariachis; she was called into a team meeting.

The no one knew what the surprise meeting would be about, they could not have expected anything worse to happen. As the team manager and director stood in front, they began to explain what they had heard about the Christmas party. Little-by-little, they said that they had been told that members of the team had been making out, falling, passed out drunk, missing the bus, and fighting. Esther said that her teammates were shocked! Even though they were all guilty of drinking, clearly the worst behavior was by her. Later that day she was fired.

Reasons for firing were unclear. Her boss told her about some error in a campaign that supposedly happened back in December, but that was a lie. The real reason was the drinking, but since legally that could not fire someone for being a badass party monster, they had to make up some work-related excuse.

Esther Gets Drunk at The Office Christmas Party - Part 1


Esther started a new job after being fired from her previous 2 jobs unexpetedly in the last 3 months. Since she needed the money she had to take the next available job, which did not pay well, but she had no other choice. She figured she would work there for a couple of months but look for something better at the same time. Luckily for alcoholic Esther, after three days into working at the new job, the company was having its yearly Christmas party.

If you have been reading other articles in the blog, you know by now that Esther is an alcoholic. She likes to drink and party and it has been that way since she was 13. After all those years of drinking, you would think that she has learned to hold her liquore, but apparently not as she was fired from her job after getting too drunk (white-girl-wasted) at her office Christmas party. This is what she told me...

Esther said that she did not plan for things to go so badly since she only new about 5 people out of thr 800 employees who would be at the party. Because of this, she thought that she had complete anonymity and that even if she did get drunk, no one would know who she was. She would stick to hanging out with her immidiate coworkers who also partied hard.

The day began at 8 a.m. when the bus was to leave from the office to the location of the all.day party. Esther expected everyone to be on time so she arrived 30 minutes late, but found that the bus had already left - not a good start! She ended up catching public transportation (3 buses) to finally arrive at the location about 2 hours away. Once she arrived, the beer drinking began at about 10:30 a.m.! It wasn{t until after lunch that the dancing and music started with waitresses serving liquor. By 6 p.m. she had already madout with a coworker and got yelled by the HR supervisor for playing around the dance floor.

By 9 p.m. everything had gone well, but she was very drunk. That is when the shit hit the fan in a series of unlucky events. Unfortunately, when Esther gets drunk, she gets aggressive and likes to fight. Apparently she got in a fight with an unknown random coworker because she was told that she could not sit at the same table with a group on unknown coworkers. Basically, she felt insulted that the lady at the table did not allow her to with them, so she went off on her with a verbal attack. ¨Who the fuck do you think you are? You aain't shit¨, she said to the lady at the table. She later was to find out that the random lady was the Director of Human Resources. Uh-oh!

During that tyrade, she was promptly scolded by the party supervisor.
