Doing the right thing

Here I am, one o'clock in the morning, with a beer in my hand. Tomorrow is an important day, business meeting at 10 o'clock and that's when I usually get up. I hope I'll make it. In fact, let's drink to that!

I'm in the same boat, my friend. Just with wine and vodka instead of beer.
I'll be at my meeting tomorrow and you'll be at your meeting tomorrow. The key word is functional.
Cheers.

Speaking from experience here, I have just 3 words of advice: deodorant, breath mints, and a bottle of water. Keep those in mind and you should make it through the meeting.

......and, of course, aspirin (apply as necessary). So I guess that would be a total of 4 things to remember.

Sorry for the list.........I'm just trying to help.

Business meeting is pretty rough. Worst I ever did though was stay up all night drinking. 7:30 am Realize I have to be in court in 1/2 hr... for my DWI. Luckily I lived 2 block from the court house and as luck would have it ended up near the bottom of the docket. Alwats leave at least one stick of Big Red in the house.

It has been my experience that meds (such as those prescribed for dental torture) are only helped along by the judicious application of mass quantities of alcohol to the system.

Yeah that's why I stay away from the pills, I proscribe myself various kinds of alcohol based on my sypmtoms.

I had an interview on wednesday so I said I wouldn't drink on tuesday night. Then I went down to the bar but just to hang out and get dinner. Then I figured a few beers would be ok. Then I had some cocktails. The the boredom shot came. The we played the game of life. I don't remember much after that. Still made it to the interview though and kicked ass. Went out and had some drinks afterwards.

HA! Awesome! I had an interview on Wed., said the same thing to my self, and had a few beers with dinner. Next thing you know I wake up on the floor with an empty bottle of scotch. I kicked ass at my interivew as well. They called my references the next day too. Outlook good.
