Out

Just came home from a company celebration, we've had a very successful football season and the company wanted to thank us for it. Which does not mean bonuses, it means night out drinking and eating. I've been going out sober with people who are rat-arsed for years now, and I'm quite confident that I can be just as stupid and have as much fun as the next man. Which was once again proved tonight - most people went home almost immediately after the CTO had finished the thank-you speech, but about ten hard core drinkers stayed. And me. I don't quite know why, but I just felt like it - I don't really know most of these people and this seemed as good time as any to get to know them. And I had a nice time - people were loud and laughed at stupid things, but they were happy and had fun. I even managed to have a good talk with one of the newer QA guys who sits quite isolated from rest of the team so no-one ever talks to him. Nice evening, and no hangover tomorrow.

Football? I don't get it.

NFL season ended with Superbowl this Sunday. People have made some really bad bets (bad for them, good for us) so we made a lot of money. I couldn't care less about the sport, but if it makes the CTO and investors happy then we're happy.
