Bad Deb!
On the last day of the week every week, everyone at work gets together to go for a beer at a local pub. I went again with my coworker - last week at was the only time I didn't go so far.
Kelly - my coworker - never stays long. He has one beer and then goes home. Every time. I wish I had such fortitude!
I ended up staying quite a while, until there was only 4 of us left. Bob, my lead hand (essentially my direct supervisor) said he would buy some beer if we wanted to go to his house. I was planning on going to see Champ, so I said no, but he insisted, saying that I didn't have to drink, but should come anyway. I decided to go, to "network" as Martino likes to call it.
And Network I did! We talked about vehicles quite a bit - the guy that I followed to Bob's place wanted to drag race his truck against my '87 Ford F150 - then Bob showed me his pretty, pretty '62 GMC.
Long story short, it was after 9:30pm before I finally got out of there! Oops! I also had one too many beer before leaving, and really shouldn't have driven home. Bad Deb! Another black mark against my Police application!
Funny how something like that can get you noticed by the boss in a good way! Might be that if an Operator's position comes available Bob will think of me, not only as a good worker, but as that entertaining person who came to his house to socialize, and give me the job. Who knows?
I really can't be doing this shit though! I have to work in the morning!
