Staying off the drink (2 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Thinking of going dry for a while.

I was out last night and Sunday. It was fun and I didn't overdo it. But I'd like to feel healthier.

See if I can last til Halloween.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Bruins box tickets just dropped on my desk

Open bar

Balls

 

[Lili Marlene]

Free tickets and open bar.

Oh to live your life 7 No Tomorrow.

Yeah, but with work people.

I wouldn't go only it was an area that needed improvement in my last review - getting involved with others and activities in the department.

Ugh

Ah here. Did you not show them that thread you created about how wonderful they were?

I'm looking for a metaphor for trying to get laid in Ireland without going to the pub.

'Going to a knife fight with a banana' is not working for me.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I think it's one of those things you use to compare other things to:

"better chance of getting laid in Ireland without going to the pub than you have of that working"

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

So there is no worse case scenario?

Ha

I've HUGELY cut down on drinking. Not totally dry but drastically cut the regularly with which I drink. Probably because, for once, I have other things to be doing, but I've found it really easy. I don't find myself craving a drink and not having to deal with hangovers is a novelty that just keeps giving.

I'm not really a fan of them tbh, though I haven't tried Walsh's.

 

[nooleen]

i've only ever been in mulligan's, for the food

excellent food, although all the servers have the conor mcgregor/cereal cafe proprieter beard and hairstyle

though I haven't tried Walsh's.

It's a goddamn gem.

Kavanagh's up the road too.

I missed this when it was posted. Can they do that? Dock you in your review for shit that happens outside work hours? Seems a bit shit to me. If my boss said that to me I'd tell him to go fuck himself. In the office, during office hours I'd be one of the more sociable people. Outside office hours is my own time and I'm fucked if I'm gonna spend it with workmates.

Well, I never got docked. I think I just hang out at the water cooler less. And I blow off these company events for the most part.
He wants me to be happy here. More than that, to look it.
Like they brought in a photographer for a handful of us whose company photos "Didn't look happy enough to be working here"
No shit.
I countered by getting involved with two volunteering roles that the company supports and I love. So it all worked out.
So I still go to the odd thing. These corporate box deals are better than something like the Christmas party which I 100% blew off.

I'd rather quit than be forced to interact with people at work

I'd be lost without my headphones

My dream is to spend all my time alone, drawing pictures for people I'll never meet

Just you and the cats then?
