Company FUN

Another day, another post.

Yesterday my whole division went to Ramada (FIVE STAR ooooooo) and had a meeting then dinner then fun. Let me start at the beginning. The Dishwasher division of Midea took four buses to the local Ramada (that's why I said FIVE Star... because EVERYONE kept telling me that it is) to talk about our progress and growth over the last six months. The speeches were so boring, especially because they were in Chinese. The most boring one was the speech by the VP of the division, because it lasted more than two hours. It was kind of funny when he began calling people out for going in and out of the room. That woke up everyone who was dozing off (I couldn't close my eyes because I was too scared that everyone would notice... that's the negative thing about having big eyes... bahahahahhaha that was pretty funny, I must admit. joke.) If this post seems weirdly written it's because it's almost 4PM and I am still drunk from last night! That's what a work celebration does to poor little foreigners.

Anyway, after the talking we ate and of course, DRANK. And boy, did we drink. The red wine was endless and so of course I was toasting with everyone and drinking with everyone. Not such a good idea, looking back. It was interesting that EVERYONE (each department) went up to the VP and those at his table and shared a toast with him! Some people even came to me and toasted with ME! So nice. I remember taking pictures with my department but after that, my memory gets fuzzy. I vaguely remember the VP trying to effing make out with me, but I told Ross (my Irish friend) and I escaped (many times though). No thanks, don't want to kiss my biggest boss first of all, and second, he's old. I woke up in my room but had nothing with me from the night before... no purse, no camera, no keys. Funny... how did I get inside my place you ask? Well thank God for Ross who filled me in as soon as I got to work. Seems he carried me home AFTER we went to KTV (with the boss)...literally carried, which was not an easy task considering he was wasted himself. He mentioned he is in a lot of trouble because he saved me from that boss... hahhahaha! (xie xie Ross)-- to put it bluntly. So I do not remember KTV at all but thankfully I had some friends there. So Ross carried me home, but since I didn't have my keys, I guess I just laid in front of my door. As for how I got inside, I have no idea... I think the security guards had a key and let me in. Don't worry all, my purse is safe and sound at a coworkers house... which is good actually because that means I didn't leave it at the KTV (which was inside the hotel). Tonight we are supposed to have another department dinner, but I'm not going since I have to go to Guangzhou early tonight for my vacation tomorrow.

I will be going to Beihai for almost a week, but since this is China, something has to go wrong... and one of our reservations was cancelled for a hotel on a small island, so for two days we have nowhere to sleep. Should be F.U.N.

Thanks for reading, and until next time!
