To make a person go on an alcoholic bender!
I was waffling about stepping out tonight. An acquaintance of mine tends bar in Silver Spring, which is very far from my office. But since I have to work an emergency patch upgrade tomorrow night, I feel that it will be best to do it with a hangover tomorrow.
Tonight, I am committed. Hopefully the drinks will be heavy pours and I keep it down to a minimum. I’ll have to tip the bartender nicely though. She and her pals usually throw in a few free drinks as well. I plan on taking the metro as the DC cabbies are on a half-hearted strike tonight because of Mayor Fenty’s decision to move into the 21st century and finally get some effing meters into the cabs here. Whatever, you jerks! I’m taking my chances with the Metro for 4 bucks!
I spent all day in crisis management. I ate breakfast at home because I was logged in early to watch some stuff. Then I had a ham sandwich at my desk in little bites all afternoon with a SODA. Great horror of Halloween horrors! I spent $1.25 because I really needed caffeine and an ice cold Coke to cope today.
I will make myself another peanut butter sandwich before I leave the office, shoving a Rice Krispie treat into my pocket to nosh on later. Maybe I’ll have some bar food, but really, it was so bad today, I’m feeling like a liquid diet is best.
Addendum:
You know it’s going to be a crappy day when you roll into work late and see someone walking the parking lot who never takes a walk. She looked like she was going to cry or kill someone. It was hard to tell which.
There was one good spot today, in the form of a phone call this morning from someone who has been blowing me off all week. A small victory.

*igh* So sorry to hear that, I remember those days pretty clearly. Hope the hangover blurs the shoddy day nicely!
