X-mas Party

Yesterday we had the company Christmas party. Very early, wonder if the city venues are all booked up in Sydney or if the company is just trying to save money. I was a bit concerned with the dress code which was stated as cocktail dress / formal attire. I really did not want to wear a dress so settled finally on black trousers and a silk shirt. However the trousers I has in mind had no pockets, and as was not wearing a jacket there was no place to put keys, money and phone. How do these people think that design trousers without pockets?
Finally I found a pair of black trousers that have always been to small, but I have had hopes to get in to. As the Wii Fit is telling me I am doing well, I had a go as a last resort, and I could wear them. They were not even uncomfortable, so I am very happy.
The party was not anything special. Just a closed off area of a Sydney bar, about 5 minutes walk from home. It was dark, the wine was pretty horrible so I ended up drinking beer, and the food was passed around on little trays. Just nibbles like pieces of chicken and lamb, small portions of risotto in "Chinese takeaway"type containers and bits of veggies. However I ended up talking to a nice crowd from work so not bad overall.
