Beer + minttu = bad day at work... or does it?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

So, I decided to go out and grab a beer with a couple of friends. This, of course, turned in to something completely different.
This is the third time in just a couple of weeks that I've gone totally s***faced even though I gotta go to work the next day... and it's totally worth it each time.

So, who's got any "Hungover at work" stories? Mine mostly involve diarrhea :(

Edit: This is a drunk post that I don't remember writing, and therefore it does not exist!
Can't believe I'm still here.

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Been pretty good lately, I've even gone out for a couple of drinks with work and avoided the inevitable messy club night later. Must be getting old, though I don't miss hungover working all that much - peeling off from a phalanx of suited commuters walking along Piccadilly to be quietly sick (mostly foamy liquid) in the gutter at 8am doesn't do wonders for your image.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I used to work at a junior high school that would have their "official drinking parties" on Wednesday or Thursday nights (because the bar rentals were cheaper).

There'd be the "official party" that would generally go from 7-9. Then the "second party" from 9-11. Then there was the 3rd party (featuring about half the male teachers and maybe 2 of the ladies) from 11-1. Beyond that, it was pretty much the PE teachers going to titty bars until all hours. (4th party, 5th party, etc.)

After one particularly crazy night, where nearly the entire school staff was hung over, I asked one of the PE teachers if he made it to the "fifth party."

His response: If you want to get technical, this is the sixth party. I haven't been home yet.

I'm working at the wrong school.

Hmmmm....we once had some beers before noon to celebrate someone's birthday here in the ol' departmental offices. But I wouldn't say shitfaced.

But back when I used to work at a sandwich shop, there wasn't a day that went by where I DIDN'T go there high. One time, I even took mushrooms about an hour before I got off so as to sync my trip with my friends who didn't have to work.

Does getting drunk at work count? If so, today. Had nothing else going on in the afternoon....
