Well……
despite express instructions to not allow me near the cocktails, I was coerced / forced into having cocktails. I just can’t do spirits, so went from coherent to annihilated in about 4 minutes. I managed to stick around long enough for the starters in the curry house but then felt myself turning into not very nice shouty drunk when the mains were taking an age to arrive, so sensibly made my excuses and left.
Went back to the office to collect my bag just in case today needed to be a work from home day, thought I’d make a cup of tea while sorting it out, and then fell asleep. Woke up at 2am, well after the trains had finished, asleep on my office floor. Thankfully decided not to drive home, although it crossed my mind….. but on trying to calculate how long it was since my last drink and whether that had passed through the system enough, i realised I couldn’t remember my name let alone what I’d had to drink and when. So opted to get a taxi back home, which cost a fortune.
Got home and the puppy thought it would be nice to play for a bit. Wife got up and told us both in no uncertain terms it wouldn’t be nice to play for a bit. Oddly, she didn’t want to ‘play’ when we got back into bed either.
Slept like a baby – ie; woke up 3 times in the night needing a drink. And then got the train into work this morning feeling shabby as hell. Ginsters for breakfast, and now sat here feeling distinctly unproductive. Pizza for lunch should sort it.
On the plus side my colleague has just rolled in. He stayed the course including having the Naga lamb curry, which is repeating aggressively on him. He woke up at 3am on his living room floor, still wearing his party hat out of the crackers, and is frankly still drunk.
And we run the company. Lord help us.
