Going to work drunk

Foxhound38 · 31-05-2012 9:02am #1

Only came home at 6AM, now I'm sitting at my desk at work - twisted. Going on a wild one on a worknight probably wasn't my best idea!

What's the After Hours consensus on drunk working? Is it excusable every once in a blue moon? Anyone ever get caught out?

You are a disgrace. Do you know how many people would love your job?????

I think it might be a sackable offence, depending on your job of course.]

If it is, its a bit of a risk and I think most people would be better off phoning in sick than making it into work drunk.

Instant dismissal for coming into work will intoxicated.

Sensible replies...This can't be AH's. Can it?

Crooked Jack · 31-05-2012 9:10am

not so much any more but I used to do it fairly regularly. So long as you can still function it should be all right. Slink off to the bathroom every so often for ten minute power naps. That should see you through the day

I'm always at it, never get caught out, thankfully the cops never think to pull the 46A for random breath testing.

IMO it depends on what the job is and how drunk you are.
If it's call center work then being drunk should be mandatory.

OP works in a creche:D

Ellis Dee · 31-05-2012 9:20am

If you're an air traffic controller or a railway signals operator or a brain surgeon, I'd say cut back a bit on the booze.:)

Bad Panda · 31-05-2012 9:23am

I did that once, but it's totally excusable as it was a Christmas night out...right?!

Ended up passing out in my chair for an hour. Luckily, I woke up before the suits came in!

Get a mountain of breakfast into you OP! It's going to be a very long day. And the hours of 2-4 will feel like a day in istelf!

31-05-2012 9:27am

You are obviously not public service otherwise you would just pull a sicky (any excuse lol). Therefore you should maybe keep the head down for a few hours and head home early if you can. Try not to breathe on anyone as you probably stink.
Best not to talk, email, phone etc. Be careful about napping in the jacks cos i know a guy who went for a short power nap and was heard snoring loudly for an hour until the cleaner woke him up.

why? what's happening?

eyescreamcone · 31-05-2012 9:36am

Do nothing, nada, zip, NO WORK!!! - at least you'll only cost your employers a days wages.
Instead of a major fukk up that could cost a lot more.

I smell a troll, the OP's spelling & grammar is too good.

samk1 · 31-05-2012 10:09am

used to do it quite a bit,not as much latley.altough the last time i had a big session the nite before work,i woke up hammerd and was brave enough to call my boss up and say, " look i still smashed drunk from last nite and wont be in ".
As it turns out he has more respect for me now for being honest and not pretending to be sick and slurring my words down the phone with some outragous excuse like the time i said a dog had bitten me on the way to work and i had to go to the doctor!!

Foxhound38 · 31-05-2012 10:09am

Nope, just in the lightheaded stage. My grammer isn't bad drunk, typing just takes me longer. It's a big reason why for me facebook should have a breathalizer installed!

Lumbo · 31-05-2012 10:14am

It's great to see that the OP is still in the drunk and positive stage.

Wait till 2pm and the hungover and suicidal stage kicks in.

Gets popcorn.
