Vella Delicious Red. I've got the heater blowing even though it isn't very cold. Last month's utility bill was $165, the highest it's ever been.

Had some Four Roses Small Batch Select for breakfast before work.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

Another bad day at work, and it's getting worse. This poor new manager can't seem to get a grasp on what needs to be done. He is much too hands-off, but maybe he is being forced to be hands-off by the HR department or maybe even by his own bosses. I don't know, but I'm ready to walk the fuck out of there for no other reason than the place is becoming unbearable.

PBR and Gran Legacy whiskey tonight, even though I didn't meet my goal of getting done with work by 8:30. I really need to drink tonight.

The new manager suspended an employee today who has a history of abusing breaks and lunches. The manager had been issuing warnings to people about abusing the time clock, but nobody took it seriously. I hate to see people losing their job, but maybe this is the first step to getting this ship back on course. Our distribution center was the best in the region for many years, but now we are the worst. This manager (and one other) were specifically hired to turn this thing around. I hope he can. We just had employee quit today out of frustration over how bad the place is, and I think about it all day long myself.

Vella Delicious Red tonight. I think I like this better than the Franzia Chillable Red. Maybe. I definitely like its spout better.

Further analysis shows: There is no 'maybe' to it. I like Vella Delicious Red more than Franzia Chillable Red. However, that isn't necessarily a good thing. It also means that I drink a whole fucking box of Vella in one sitting.

Let the bender begin! I don't have to be back at work until Feb 20. I think I'd like to hit up some bars this week. My favorite bar has extended its hours and now opens at 6 in the morning.

For now it's PBR. I'll mix in the Gran Legacy later.

Those Jack in the Box cheeseburgers I ate two days ago are not digesting well at all.

There is nothing quite so interesting as the atmosphere of a bar at 6am.

Bars are glorious fun at 6am. Always a perfect mix of people continuing the night and those who just got off work.
DRINK!

Been drinking for one hour and already on my fourth glass of Vella Delicious Red. This stuff goes down easy. It also opens up my capillaries and makes my ears feel hot.

Perhaps a little too early, but just tore open my first can of PBR. It's only 2:30 in the afternoon. But that's what benders are for, right?
