Moral Issue

Once upon a time in a land far far away... just kidding - my head hurts! Explanation to follow....

I have a friend, let’s call him Full stop (FS), said friend is a golfing buddy - quite a character incredibly good value... well he must be he’s one of my friends :P

To get you, the reader up to speed:
FS has been known to attend a few of the company "do's" the last one being the Xmas party - one of my "smaller" ones... (I will at some stage tell the story of my first week at the Imperial - my place of occupation.) Right I digress (hangovers are great - NOT!)...

So FS arrives at said Xmas party with his boss in tow - for the purpose of this blog and to try and stay on the moral high ground for as long as possible we'll call her Skank [SLAP] sorry Chick.

Right now at the time of arrival (FS and Chick), the boys and girl (we are in IT) were at the stage of Most-Hammered (I think a blog on my terminology would be good at some stage - chuckle) - this stage is when you’re ready to drink everything and anything cause this party is going to explode! FS introduces everyone to his boss Chick and we all start chatting... now Chick is quite competitive but in a silly kind of way - everything is a competition, which is fine if you can actually compete. A few drinks get administered Chick and I start getting a little friendly and FS pulls me aside and gives a speech... to which I am confused until he drops a little bit of information - she's married.

Aha strategy re-align...

Chick has not been wearing a wedding ring so I don't feel like a total toad and I subtract my involvement with her amicable - well I thought I did at least - no harm no foul. To be blunt at this stage she is overs... (that is basically the queue to be taken home to pass out). Ok this occurs and we end up at that terrible place the 'haten. :)

Ok so now up to speed the story continues:

FS has a little get together for his birthday last night... no problem - fantastic little prawn braai, mostly good conversation, mostly good company, a "bit" of liquor. I say mostly because FS has invited Chick.

I have no problem with the verbal lashing I received from Chick because I "abandoned" her at the Xmas party last year - bluntly I reminded her of your little LIFELONG COMMITMENT and my rule on clearly not getting involved with any woman that has made such a commitment - or do I mind the complete lack on anything intelligent to be added to the conversation from her part, or even the constant attempt to compete with me (or the rest of the people involved in the conversation) in everything that I said or discussed - to very honest and direct (as I was to Chick last night, I will paraphrase) “Chick, there is really no competition to speak of”.

I did humour her a bit to attempt to compete in a shooter competitions, but that was more for FS's sake than hers. PLEASE NOTE THAT SHE IS WEARING HER WEDDING RING - this is important to the rest of the story.

Now we're having a good time but Chick getting a little too friendly with all the lads at the party and very heavy with FS, Import (a friend of the big Guy who is now living in London) and myself. Fair enough Import and I are playing the game but we are also monitoring FS and Chick.

Morale issue #1 arrive…

Chick begins to offer some sexual favours all round and do mean all round, not one male team member that I am aware of (and this includes the gentlemen with their fiancee’s / girlfriends) was left alone at this stage… Some pretty graphic offerings too..

Moral issue #2…

At this stage there has been a lot of alcohol consumed, the lads are ready to party but FS and Chick are not really coherent… and seemed to have migrated to the couch in a distributed location. The lads head out, in search of the lesser spotted “Party Harder” venue… we ended up at a few choice establishments… choice in that we would probably never choice to go again! Back to the story – Chick and FS slept in the same bed, which I don’t have a problem with if the two people are adults and respect sanctities of marriage etc. I am NOT saying something happened – I am merely stating that in this case I it has seriously set off my Moral alarms.

FS and the big Guy are going to have a chat – I hope for FS’s sake he did not do anything…

SIGH random night in the end – as they happen :P
