survived my office christmas party (open bar) alive and without making an ass of myself. delightful! i'm now moving into serious countdown until i leave for california and i have all of my christmas shopping yet to do. some of it i know what i want to get but as usual i have no idea of what to buy for my dad. i think it's a shame there is a ( Read more... )

especially free alcohol. especially free alcohol and free lunch. i think this is very good. all of a sudden, i like working. i think it's the alcohol talking.

that's really all i have to say. to become a better society we should have four day work weeks (paid as 5-day weeks), siestas allowed and ready alcohol provided and not disapproved of. that ( Read more... )

i don't pretend to think that heavy drinking mid-week will end well. most of the time i stay the course and save the debauchery for weekends when i don't have to get up at o'dark thirty. or at least have an alarm clock go off then. however, once i begin drinking well...why not continue? see kids? i didn't have any choice. really. had to keep ( Read more... )

(kinda like sex with your mom) ehem. anyway, eyah. it gives a new picture to the phrase "quit your jawing". but, as stated, well done. after the movie ( Read more... )

ugh. i know that a shower will feel good and that going to bed clean will make me a happy camper. on the other hand is the knowledge that shucking yesterday's clothes for pj's is so much less effort. well, i have to go into the bathroom for aspirin anyway ( Read more... )

a) coming home after the bar closes to drink vodka at my house
b) upon not finding vodka, deciding to make mimosa's with a bottle of forgotten cheap champagne
c) thinking that i'm coherent enough to stay awake while watching firefly
