The drunken Thursday lunch
Our firm all went out to lunch today to celebrate one of the attorney's birthdays, we went to this trendy spot in town. We usually go once a month, it's always someone's birthday and well, any excuse to get together and drink right? There's less than 15 total at the firm, so it's not too big a deal to go.
We get there, and our lovely scantily clad assistant (see 5/26 post) was all up in arms about a federal case her boss is about to try, a pretty high-profile one out here in Portland. They had worked their asses off trying to get the pretrial docs out on time, and stayed very late last night getting it all done, only to come in this morning and find out the other side simply blew off the deadline and didn't get theirs in. So, she was in the mood for a couple drinks. That's always dangerous.
First off, let me describe the attire. It's First Thursday here, which means she is goin' out for some FUN. Black leather mini (when I say mini, I mean MINI), black stockings, knee-high black high heel boots, plus the signature cleavageshoweroffer top. As I've said before, don't get me wrong, she can pull it off, but this is what she wore to work. Don't get me wrong, very nice, very fun girl (trust me I know ;op), just a little much for the office.
Anyway, most of us start off with a drink - she has wine with most of the others (I had some blueberry-infused vodka thing - ok, I had 2), and that's another indication it's gonna get interesting. She has this way of turning every conversation into one that revolves around sex. But, if you say something outrightly sexual to her, she acts as if she's shocked and embarrassed. I must have missed that class, because I just don't get it. Dressed the way she is, how could she act embarrassed about anything?
So, after lunch let's just say she's a lot happier, giggling and talking and reminiscing, making sure to throw in that she's a Grandmother now, for good measure (speaking of that word, people say it like "may-zure" out here, it's weird). If I wanted to kiss her, she'd have planted one on me right there in front of everyone, and then of course acted all shocked and embarrassed about it afterwards ;)
Just another day here at the office, gotta love it!
