Phone in sick. Hire a row-boat. Go fishing with a six pack and kill hangover. Job's a goodun. Oh yeah, come home and clean vomit from downstair neighbour's windows.

If he's puked, I'd imagine he'll feel fine. I never have any kind of a hangover after vomming.

How can people do this before work? Why would you even entertain it? I did it ONCE in my early 20s. I got sent home as I arrived at work the next day obviously still pissed, and lost a day's pay.

Never even been close to doing it again..... How old is this guy? If he's any more than about 23 I'd make sure he was still alive, chuck him in bed and let him suffer on his own.....

Even before seeing the original posters name, I knew who started this thread.

Welcome to the world of high value sales, international travel, entertainment allowances and 6 figure paypackets.
PP, obviously only doing it the once has held you back in terms of career development.

Learning to pretend to work effectively/blag your way through presentations/chair meetings etc with a stinking hangover is an [b]essential[/b] business skill that anyone over 30 should have.

I agree with PP, getting wrecked is something you (should) grow out of.
Unless you subscribe to the pisshead culture of this country and think its a good thing. Personally, the most pathetic conversation I hear at work begins "Ooh, I was so paraletic last night..."
But hey ho, each to their own an all that.

Sounds like his problems are greater than a presentation.

Unless he is early 20's then I guess we've all done it before!?

Don't people in jobs like this have a predisposition to getting legless?

Blaggers like this are why the country's industry is in such a mess.

Sympathy from me: Zero!

If you can 'do' your job wrecked or hungover then it's a job not worth doing 🙄

You make it sound like only British people are ****s.. and it's some kind of new thing that's causing a modern malaise.

****s are a fact of life wherever and whenever you go!

going back the OP, obviously the presentation isn't important, no business is to be gained by doing it well, the clients perception of the company via the piss-head is unimportant, no one else has put any effort into the project otherwise someone would have stopped the ****t getting so wasted and the guy will be a hero for winging it and 'we didn't get the contract, but never mind, we had fun, yee-haa ......' 😯

DnV - Diarrhoea and vomiting
and the junior medical staff wire themselves up to a saline drip - allegedly...

Why's that, because someone is such a 'tard they manage to actually SPEAK poor spelling?

Ahah! Clever with the drip, I wonder if that would be the best hangover cure ever?

Best hangover cure ever:

High flow oxygen, 2 litres normal saline IV, paracetamol, ibuprofen, strong coffee, bacon sandwich

FACT

(allegedly)

All the "oh its so childish ya ya ya" brigade have never done business the with Scots. I spent many an evening in Edinburgh being "tested" by them as I tried to sell into their organisations. There was max respect to be had if you gave a good account in the pitch the next day.

Try doing business in Eastern Europe - went to Hungary to sign a OEM partnership deal. Company CEO has a bar in his office. Alcohol was compulsory. Beer at 9am, then spirits in coffee, then wine for lunch, more spirits, some more beer, more spirits then out for dinner to continue drinking. All this and passive chain smoking.....

the saline thing doesn't work, it's a fallacy that my mate (registrar) had a sensible explanation

back to the OP, he'll stop spewing soon, drink water and go to bed with a bucket in case... and cereal the next day not fry up.

It went ok. Just back from the bar to toast a successful day. No, he wasn't 20 and was old enough to know better. No my job has no value and no impact of the life and well being of anyone. In fact my work is pretty much a waste of time which is why I am actively looking to change it. It is just that having been without any work through redundancy last year and being the only wage earner in the house I have had to ignore my high minded STW principles and do what I do to keep the house.

Never mind, home tomorrow and all will be well.
