When i came into work at 9:20 there already had been some excitement! One of my co-workers found a job in another state and put in his 2 weeks, and today was his last day with the company. Turns out, to mark the excitement of his last day he went out last night & just got hammered & didnt get home until 5:30am. When he came in to work at 9 he was still drunk!! Can you believe it?? I'm appalled...i mean, i dont always love my job, but i'd never disrespect my company & coworkers that much by coming to work in such a mess. Apparently at like 9:30 he decided he needed to get some food in his stomach, left, and didnt come back. Good luck buddy...and dont let the door hit ya on the way out! Now to muddle through with covering all of his work until we can get someone else hired & trained to take his spot. This guy didnt last 90 days, so i hope the next one is a little more ambitious.
On a lighter note...tomorrow is the pub crawl...woohoo!! My friend Jason & I have been training all week for it...granted, that is just a couple of beers here & there a couple of nights this week, but that is more beer than i've drank in the last month alltogether. Very sad...my social life used to be much more exciting. But i digress...so tomorrow is the pub crawl. Really, it sounds like we're just a bunch of boozers looking for an excuse to party like its 1999...but really it's for a good cause!! The money raised from the event (i think there are several thousand people participating) will go to the American Cancer Society. Definitely a worthy cause.
We are meeting up for brunch at 10:45, and then on to take on the challenge of getting through 5 bars of drinking, and still being able to last the rest of the night!! Each year has been a lesson in marathon drinking, and I have learned from my experiences...i've listed them here for your benefit as well! lol
- Pub crawl lesson #1: Make sure to avoid running into ex-boyfriends...this means you cannot have them on your team either. Avoid drama at all costs.
- Pub crawl lesson #2: Do not attempt to train for a real marathon (i.e. going for a 16mile run) the morning of the crawl...this makes you very dehydrated, and the alcohol goes to your head much too fast. You're only allowed one extreme sport per day.
- Pub crawl lesson #3: make sure you eat periodically during the crawl. A sick girl is not a fun girl.
- Pub crawl lesson #4: pacing is key...but so is momentum...if you stop drinking to take a nap, you are down for the count. (mental note here...if you stop early you minimize the hangover factor, hidden bonus...) :)
- Pub crawl lesson #5: If possible, have your team paired up with another team of army/airforce guys...especially helpful if your team is all girls; this definitely helps b/c you have other people to take up the slack from your low tolerance; also helps when you dont feel like walking to bars #4 and 5, they can just carry you! Hoooah! All that PT is paying off guys!! ;)
This will be the 5th pub crawl to date that i've been on (they're twice a year), and things have gone better every time. I'm hoping that this one will be the best yet!! They're all a blast, so no complaints here.
