I arrived early. I actually think I was the first non-organiser there. A brief, somewhat stilted chat with Ideas Girl and off I went into the sunshine with a cold beer.
I drank a lot. It's the good weather. I always seem to drink quicker when the weather's nice.
I also got to have a good few chats with Quiet Girl. I had thought she was going to turn up with us, but her other work friends changed their minds and were in attendance, after all. I also managed to spark Stalky Guy's incredulous nature by having a couple of chats with one of the HR girls - an ex of GM - a stunning looking blonde girl. Any time I chat to her, Stalky Guy's jaw drops. Stalky Guy is weird.
It looked as if we would have QG's company at the end of the night. There was talk of heading into the city afterwards for further drinks and Quiet Girl seemed keen. Another girl I was talking to (let's call her Nerdy Girl, she might pop up more often) seemed keen as well. So that was all promising until there was a transport issue and we kinda got split up.
At that stage, I called it quits. Quiet Girl had called her husband who took her home, Nerdy Girl had disappeared and the guys I had been socialising with had already gone into the city.
Still... the disappointing ending aside, it was a good night, and I did at least end up with Quiet Girl's number. Not that I plan on doing anything with that...
