Drunk at work!!!

[The Drunken Songstress]

First off I would like to thank American West airlines for being so stupid, therefore leading to today's event.

You see, at night my husband was dropping his brother off at the air port (at that time I was consuming shots of Tequilla then glass after glass of wine and getting ready for bed) but the workers didn't know what they were doing so they wouldn't give him his ticket saying he wasn't in the system. In the end it turned out he was in the system all along and American West is fucking retarded. Like that helped 'cause at that point plane went bye bye and he had to catch the one that was close to the time I would normally get dropped off at work the next morning. Because of this, I had to get up two hours early which wouldn't have been so bad had I not been on the phone all night trying to solve the problem with the idiots. (the more I tried to sort things out, the more annoyed I became, the more booze I consumed!)

So, with two hours sleep, and some remaining liquor in my system I was on the way to work. About a block before getting there I said to my husband, "Goddamnit to hell I haven't gotten any sleep, I didn't get to enjoy my first buzz 'cause I was stuck on the phone, and now I'm supposed to go work another 11 hour shift! Fuck that! I'm doing what I want to do! Lets go to the Frontier!"

He was very wise to obey the sleep deprived drunk. I ended up getting totally shitfaced before waltzing into work (a company that would fire me for even consuming one beer at lunch). I blamed the drunkeness on the lack of sleep and no one knew the better. Shit, the first few hours were so amusing, I never knew the meetings we have every morning could be so funny!

The hotel and casino near the Las Vegas Convention Center? Haven't tried their burritos yet.

I went to the bar at the Frontier about 18 years ago when I was in Las Vegas. The big sign out in front said 25 cent bottled beer. I got really drunk for under a few bucks. The bartender didn't like the small tips I was leaving him, but I just couldn't pass that up.

Gone are those sweet days, now they charge $2.

I used to frequently get drunk at work. Until one day I was caught and fired.

I get drunk at work the minute everyone leaves the office. I show up around 11 or 12, have to work quasi diligently till 5, then can pull out my bottle of Hendrick's gin and slam a few slugs the minute they are all gone.

Luckily no one knows what I really do, and everyone knows to stay out of my office even when I am at work. I specifically designed my office to make it uncomfortable for anyone to come for longer than just a heads up notification.

[waahoohah]

Yesterday (tuesday? Fuck, I have no idea what day it is) I enjoyed me a fair bit of bourbon before heading off to that evil fucking night shift at 10:30.
It was nice. I'm pretty sure I still smelled like a still, but nobody seemed to notice. Or care. Maybe they were buzzing too? I'll have to ask.

[waahoohah]

Actually, they were. I helped a few of my co-workers along on Friday (Thursday? Fucking night shift). Anyway, we had fun. Thanks, MDM, for the article on boozing on the job. A lifesaver!

The best way to get through a shift shit-faced is to take on a quiet, reserved, yet friendly demeanor when you start a new job, then explain to your co-workers (when your exuberance starts drawing attention), that you are simply in a good mood. I've been riding that train for 6 months, and so far so good.
