Opening Lines - Fighting the urge to dance at the staff Christmas party

Despite all the warnings, some of you will be unable to resist. Drink may have been taken, endorphins coursing in your veins, inhibitions lost. Before you know it, as your colleagues at the Christmas party stand nearby, aghast, you are dancing.

It’s not a pretty sight. You are Vice-President of Strategic Knowledge Implementation In The Cloud With Special Responsibility For Blue Sky Thinking As Long As Isn’t Too Much Cloud. You didn’t get where you are today by being a dancer. You say you work hard and play hard, but the ‘play hard’ bit usually just meant shots after dinner and lobbing the gob in the hallway at a party. Yet here you are: twerking.

The urge to dance goes back aeons.
