Mine wasn't anything to write pentouse about, but..

I used to work in a small branch office of a good-size corporation, and they flew me out to the home office one Christmas for an annual meeting/Christmas party.

I didn't know anybody, didn't really have much to do, so that evening I hit the open bar. I proceeded to get plastered.

They started calling everybody in for dinner, and of the 1,000 people I COULD get seated with, it has to be with the President, the Vice President, the General Councel, and assorted other exec's.

I maintain for about 5 minutes, and just don't say anything....but the General Councel is pretty hot, so I started making drunken small talk with her.

I was making drunken small talk with a married woman who was a lawyer and indirectly my boss. And I was not making any progress.


You know, this story is starting to suck, and I don't think I need to drag this out. Suffice it to say, I was fortunate the next morning that I still had my job.
