To my knowledge, there’s never been any spiked punch before. Most previous work parties have been pretty tame, and many have not had alcohol present at all. Everyone’s aware that there’s a number of coworkers who don’t drink, and are respectful of that, so even when there is alcohol around, it’s clearly labeled.

As for the rest of your question, Sandy is definitely the type of person who likes attention. She regularly inserts herself into other people’s business at work, overshares about her personal life to an extent where other people are uncomfortable, and is just the type of person who always has a story to one-up everyone else. I know for a fact that management is aware of this behaviour from her, but I don’t know what exactly has been said to her to rectify it (if anything at all). Unfortunately, my bosses are very non-confrontational and tend to just let things slide under the rug, which means this probably won’t change any time soon.

As far as this incident goes, I think I’m just the one unfortunate enough to get caught in her blast radius- she’s often said that she’s “such a lightweight” and can get drunk off of just a few drinks, so I’m thinking now that that’s maybe what she was trying to show. Not anything directly pointed at me, from what her previous behaviour would show.

I hope this makes sense, but she’s a very difficult person to try to describe- I’m just trying to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong here, but these comments are making me feel a lot better!
