My gym trainee forgot her gym clothes, so I jumped on the opportunity to suggest a margarita lunch outing. I deserve it cuz I’m having a crappy day, right? While at lunch, I confessed that I don’t understand the concept of, “Oh, I’m having a bad day so I’m gonna have a drink,” because drinking really doesn’t help me feel better. She said she doesn’t understand it either as all alcohol does is make her sleepy, but that she uses the “bad day” thing as an excuse to drink. I confessed that’s what I did today, too, as I sucked on my margarita.
The funny thing about having really strong margaritas is that when you’re back at work, it feels like you’re sitting and walking at a 45-degree angle from the ground, but as diagonal as you are, you don’t fall over. Funky.
How funny, I too had a cadillac margarita at lunch today, to celebrate the fact that my boss is out on vacation today.
You just didn’t have enough margaritas to make you “happy!” That’s all :). Actually alcohol usually makes me sleepy too. Its usually the outting itself that is the fun part rather than the drinking by itself.
I’m so jealous!! I cannot drink margarittas on my lunch break. Well I probably could but then I’d get fired. NOT GOOD. People don’t want a drunk xray girl.
TurboTiger – Ah, the “something to celebrate” excuse; much more responsible than the “I’m upset so I’m gonna drink myself into oblivion” excuse.
James – I don’t want to drink more. Cuz I can’t afford to have the 45-degree angle tilt be, like, a 0-degree line. (Or 180-degree?) But if you’re right about the outing vs. the drinking, then I just wasted $4 at lunch. (Gym trainee paid for lunch; I just paid tip.)
Flat Coke – That depends. I say you take a poll as to whether people would want a drunk and happy Flat Coke twirling around them as they’re strapped down for an x-ray. The men’ll probably enjoy it.
Well I wouldn’t say you wasted it! An outting with some drinking usually ends up being more fun than without. If you had enough to drink you are usually more prone to have more interesting conversations…. or maybe is it that just a boring conversation now becomes more interesting?? Hmmmm…
