Eyes like pissholes in the snow

Sykk

Was out last night for a friends birthday, said I'd only have a few but ended up going on the rip.

Now I'm hungover with two little ferret eyes sitting in the office trying to avoid people like a plague.. And I've got a rake of work to do..

Do you guys head out during the week? Mid week drinking isn't worth it IMO..

smash

There's nothing worse. I usually sleep in my car at lunch time.

I remember when i had my first beer...

Just go home

you are a danger to yourself and others around you

Thursday night is fine to drink cos you only have one day of torture and then it's the weekend! Going on the lash on a Mon/Tues is the worst cos you still have most of the working week to get through!

Having said that I gave up drinking midweek a few years ago!

Manys the time in work I've had to give it a bit of AC Slater ans catch a few zzzzs in the jax

a few weeks back Chelsea were playing Man City on a Monday night and we went into Cork City to watch it and I ended up out until after 3AM and had to be in work for 8AM.

That was a hard 4 hours until my 12 o clock lunch.

Good idea at the time but looking back its never worth it.

It'll be ok OP, it's nearly 10am. Just keep your head down and continue not making eye contact.

Can of Coke or Lucozade will help get you to lunch.
A lie down in your car for 30/60 mins will make the world of difference for your afternoon.

If you work in IT, find a reason to be working in the server room/test lab. The air-con will greatly help, and you'll be out of the main flow of "people traffic".

Good luck & no, drinking on a school night stopped being an option for me when I hit my thirties.

Was boozing until 1:30 last night, had a triple shot expresso this morning. So far so good!

@jester77 - you need to preempt the crash. Have a can of coke to hand.

Standard Toaster

Where did you end up OP?

Haven't been out on the rip on a school night in a good while. Not missed one bit! Get a big fry into you if possible.

If you were a woman, you could go to the loo and rest your pretty little head on the sanitary disposal unit with a jacket as a cushion like I did back in the days of yore.

It's an energy sort of thing so you'd take in the morning after or in the OPs case right about now would be good.

narfsnonsense

Coffee is a definite no. That would make my head explode when hungover. A kip in the car is good, but depends on how f*cked you are. Can sometimes make you feel more sorry for yourself and slow down the feeling better process!

Try and stay busy. Avoid clock watching as much as possible.

Ah don’t rub it in now! OP, you have my sympathy...But that amounts to f**k all today as I'm dying myself.

Midweek drinking just isn’t worth it IMO, but there are occasions where it just happens, like it or not.

Take last night for example...A completely unplanned session. It started early yesterday, one after work. Then I had to go out to the airport and collect a friend, one there. Then for some unknown reason, when i got home my housemate cracked open a bottle of champagne. Then we moved onto beer and then JD. Went to bed at stupid o' clock and now sitting in work...Its horrendous...

And to make things worse, I'm off the smokes at the moment, so I'm also sitting here sucking on these bloody Nicorette things, which are tolerable at best under normal circumstances, but now it feels like I'm sucking on a bulldogs arse...

fishy fishy

oh how I remember. I bet you were watching the clock last night while you were doing the damage and thinking "gawd sure I'm not even drunk, three hours sleep will be perfectly FINE for me". Roll on this morning, you wake up, feel normal for two seconds the realise you are still drunk. look in the mirror - can't believe the state of the eyes, barely make it to work - every minute feels like an hour.

Get a sweet coffee and a crossiant - forget your savouries - you need something really really sweet to eat.

Mid week drinking is definitely NOT worth it - unless you are about 18. Haven't done it for years, but can still remember the feeling. Even weekend drinkin isn't worth it - you wait all week for the weekend only to "lose" one full day recoving from the night before. No thanks.

anyway hope the day goes fast for you.

OP, your username fits your condition today!

I used to do it from when I was 18 to about last Summer. I learned not to do it when I'm busy the next day.

I've lost interest in binge drinking now. Maybe have a craft beer or two once a week, or a glass of wine with my dinner. Saves a crap load on cash too.

A few years ago I arranged to meet up with a mate for a quiet mid-week, evening pint. Anyway, one thing led to about fifteen more and we ended up in a lock-in. Don't remember too much about the whole night but woke up the next day with a banging headache and the fear like never before. Naturally, thought, "**** work" and stayed in bed.

The following day in work, when I logged into my computer, I saw that my boss had sent me an email with 6 voicemail files attached: all from me; all from that pissed-up night; all explaining I wouldn't be in the next day; all with different excuses (some saying I was sick, others saying I had jury duty etc); all of me ****ing hammered; and all about half an hour apart (charting a clear and steady decline in lucidity).

Ugh, that was an awkward morning

Boro

Im still good for a spot of midweek drinking, though I tend to be a lot calmer with it now than I used to! I dont think I have ever pulled a sicky after one, do the crime...etc

What were you drinking? Sounds like a session on the poiteen

agree - if you have to pull a sickie then you have a problem. It's self inflicted - you are not sick.

iamthe43

I dont know if I would call it a problem. Its more of an inconvenience (for your employer)

A problem would be getting your finger stuck in the top of a bottle of Corona and having to go to work the next day with it still there.

BailMeOut

I feel sorry for your employer. He/She is paying you for very little productivity from you today so you need stay an hour late every day for next 8 working days to make up the time.

Zulu

I feel sorry for your sense of humor.

No poiteen but started on pints of lager and moved onto to Guiness with Jamerson chasers (that's what I remember anyway)

True, but we live in an imperfect world. While there's rape and genocide being practiced, I think that a hangover sickie is but a blip.

For some reason a mint cornetto sometime does the trick for me. I feel your pain OP, went for the cure on Sunday and ended up on another session. Needless to say Monday & Tuesday were bloody hell in here.

true....I suppose I just always thought it was no reason to go into work. If your mature enough to drink alcohol, then it shouldn't affect your work...if it doesn't then you shouldn't be drinkin in during the week - although I can TOTALLY see how someone could get carried away if the night is good, I would still always get into work, even if I had to crawl (really nothing to do with my employer, I would just feel crap pulling a sickie for that

The Scientician

State of you/me/us/them.

I am pie

I'd say it's not a problem unless you make a habit of it.

I've had lunch at my desk every day this year and i work around an extra day a week in additional hours. Both of which i'm happy to do, but on the very rare occasion I have an extra few beers during the week I am damn sure they will survive with me having a slow day.

Give and take basically.
