I just went out with the girls, the most ghetto of which all want to storm troop Massachusetts, nad had a few margaritas, and now i'm in the office blatantly downing the Coronas. Is this unprofessional? Discuss.

No it's ace. I really miss it from my old job. When I had a bad deadline there my boss would come up with a cold beer every hour. That's what I call team building. Haven't you started this thread about eight times already Ally?

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh god it's so dud. Do I have to explain?

― Tracer hand, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't toy with me, Tom, I am a dangerous woman scorned with the power of the ghetto girls of Millennium on my side, I will fuck you up.

I'm just kidding. I have no reason to fuck you up, plus no passport.

Unprofessional? If so, my boss would have concerns for himself. Though he gets red in the face at the nearby pub rather than in the office, and once in the office wisely retreats for an hour or so away from everybody.

And suffice to say I'd be happy to be downing margaritas or Coronas with Ally at any time. Hurrah!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who wouldn't be? I'm the life of the party.

― Ally, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It'd be better if I had different folks in my office besides, y'know, my dad. Fathers don't let sons work drunk.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So classic it's cliche. *hic*

― Samantha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DRUNK. Hey wait, you're not at the office.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not much of a drinker, but if I get my work done early, I've sometimes pop two NyQuil capsules and then jelly-belly my way around the office, giving people hugs and whistling "Patience" by G'n'R. There's this one guy I detest, though, and once I found his chair empty so I just gurgled up a nice one and spat on it. Immediately afterwards I got paranoid and rubbed it into the upholstery and walk- sprinted away. As I wiped my finger on my sock I bitterly realized that the whole process probably resulted in me getting more spit on my clothes than on his. Hmmm. I don't want to physically assault him; trying to chip away at him psychologically wont work - he's one of those people so removed from any social loop that nothing offends him (Example: Me: "You're wearing neon yellow suspenders and a sweater your gramma knitted you and your fly is undone you dumb bastard." Him: "Well I'm SOOOOORRY...I guess I don't conform to your standards of "COOOL" and "FASHION", hmph!").

I think I'm just gonna steal his fucking stapler.

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...

Ramosi, what manner of pharmaceutical is NyQuil?

― misterjones, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NyQuil is a very popular cold/flu remedy in North America, renowned for its drowsying potency (also, it works on your cold). It's called "NyQuil" because you're supposed to take it at night, go under in no time flat, and wake up cured. If you take it in the afternoon, the trip is similar to the slow-motion giddy feeling you get when you are sleep-deprived but with no I-have-to-be-somewhere-in-X-hours pressure. It comes in syrup and liquid capsule form, I prefer capsules (two) because its the perfect dose for my weight and, well, it feels more like REAL DRUGZ. I started taking them in high school because they were legal and they remain a favorite Friday pastime. official site .... Unofficial site .... Sizzurp and I'm outta heah!

So classic its in my job description (just got to take the empty pint glasses down to the bar now).

― Pete, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate drinking in the office. It's not the right atmosphere. There's loads of wine and vodka in the cupboard but no. Maybe if I got nice glasses and ice cubes.

Ned has a local 'pub'?

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The accountants were all quaffing champagne yesterday afternoon in celebration of a) their exam results and b) some girl leaving. I do not approve, I mean how were they chilling it properly? Did they have flutes or did they have plastic cups - I fear it was the latter. It is not on, you should go out to a nearby booze emporium and do your drinking there. A place for everything etc. etc.

Now it is Feb 1 I can comment on alcohol again. Roll on 7:00.....

― Emma, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Emma is right this should be a search and destroy question:

Search - cold bottle of beer from office fridge.

Destroy - vinegary red wine or sugary lukewarm white in plastic cup accompanied by stale tortilla chips.

We'll be cracking open the champers later on this afternoon in anticipation of our belated office xmas party tonight

― leighm, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not that I would partake of course but on the lift on the way downstairs I saw a table half full of cans of Carling. I think this is somewhat declassé.

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We have a fridge in the office. It is full of a vile alcopop called red. Someone sent us 20 (yes really) crates of it. Only one person here actually likes it and she is leaving next week. We have been on a mission to get Jacqui to drink as much of it as possible beforehand resulting in her being hammered everytime we've worked late in the last week.

Ned has a local 'pub'?

There's one on campus in a vaguely fake American sense. Y'all would hate it. But it does serve cheap beer, though. Costa Mesa, where I live, has places more suited to a proper crawl.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

three weeks pass...

Not really an answer but to anna who mentioned the 20 crated of RED - maybe you could send me some cos i love it and can't find it anywhere!! As for drinking it at work, why not??!!

― Charlotte Brown, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

Haha we're totally downing the Mike's Hard Lemonaides today! It's awesome as hell, I hope they don't expect the compliance reports to be accurate. Someone gave me flowers, who?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait I might've stolen them.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that drinking in the office decreases productivity cos all I'm doing is drinking more and then posting "HAHAHA TODAY'S SPECIAL" on ILX.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

nine years pass...

classic in the past, still awesome
