A Little Gettogether

There was the formal Chinese New Year dinner with the boss and everybody, but you can't really cut loose with the main man sitting right there, and people didn't really like the Macallan anyway (funny hangovers). Plus the food sucked because the restaurant was running like three year-end banquets and a wedding at the same time. So the VP was nice enough to take us out to dinner again later in the week. Total damage for 25 people:

  • 2 bottles of Martell XO
  • 26 liter-bottles of Tsingdao beer
  • 2 little bottles of 20-year old rice wine that one of the guys brought back from his mother-in-law's

Did my fair share, but was hardly a major contributor. With all that alcohol mixing (grape, barley, and rice) I'm surprised nobody missed work the next day. Well, I did get in 10 minutes late, but at least I was my usual inefficient self. Yay for tolerance, although the buzz is kinda overrated.
