It Literally Ended in a Bang

Last night was my work Christmas dinner. Majority voted landed us at Crabbies to enjoy a meal together and to exchange gifts. We were secret santa's to different people at the work place. I noticed that we all put a lot of thought into each of these gifts as though we really know each other well. Me being in my goofy nature noticed a sweater at work that reminded me of a sock monkey because of the colours so I called it sock monkey (apparently everyone likes the sweater because it was gone pretty fast). Our newest addition to the team has been working with us for about two months and I haven't really seen her in the last three weeks because of the hours being cut for everyone. She remembered little things that we talked about. I have mentioned at one point that I love elephants. So my gift from her was a sock monkey (super cute) and a tuskers elephant posed in a gift bag saying a gift for you (my first tuskers). I absolutely loved the gift because of the thought that she put into it. It really seemed as though everyone put this much thought into their gifts. We opened the gifts before our meals came so we were not just waiting for the food. The last person to open her gift was the hardest to deal with and rightfully so. She was giving "sexual innuendos" which I think would have been fine for her, but she got very carried away with it waving her pen around, then passing it around for others to feel, two of us by passed it (I was one of them, my gift giver being the other). I was honestly mortified by her behaviour I apologized to the server, which he was caught off guard with the pen as it came out many times. But then he got goofing around with us. My manager asked him to take a group photo of us and he did, we huddled into a spa booth. Then I believe his shift manager got him to join in on the photo and she took it. He got on the table and laid across it to get in without blocking any of us. Then when he went to get off, he broke the table. There was the bang, then everyone went home because we already paid. I felt horrible that the table was broken on top of everything else that transpired prior to that. This is just a picture of how things can get carried away. There was one thing that did not really play affect on the evening and that was the alcohol that was involved. I think only three or four people had a specialty drink and two of them had a refill. So I know that alcohol was not really a contributing factor in the silliness.
