Work Night Out

[Thursday 12th June]
There was a concerted effort this evening, which for once I wasn't at the core of, to get as many people from the team as possible out to the pub after work. It was a pretty good turnout - around 8 of us - although the venue chosen was a little underwhelming (rather unimaginatively the pub nearest the office).

Anyway, after a drink or two, I was determined not to let it turn into one of those evenings where we all drink all night on an empty stomach. So I persuaded a few of my colleagues to go for some Chinese food - at Kym's - the place I'd been to a few weeks back with Chie. Not sure my colleagues really took to Shaoshing, but still I think they enjoyed the food at least.

I have something of a pet project in this area. We're all relatively well paid, and working right in the heart of one of the most interesting and diverse cities on the planet - so surely work nights out can occasionally extend to something a little more imaginative then just a couple of pints at the nearest pub? Tonight's outing wasn't exactly hugely ambitious but I see it as a step in the right direction.
