work
 

Coming back to work from lunch moderately buzzed (not shit-faced) is a pretty good feeling. work just doesn't seem as bad as usual. at least i seem to be a bit more productive.
anyone feel me on this?

....no. That whole "I would get fired for being pissed at work" thing, ya'know. :D

Ever tried to program while you're wasted?

...yeah...

i've been at places where people did work better after their 6 pack at lunch.... and they handled 12" cutting blades....

it's not for me.. i get paid for mental capacity... not incapacity.

All depends on what job you hold, I guess

It's pretty cool when the boss (and president of the company) orders the pitchers of beer...

Absolutely, it's the only way to code. After a drunken programming session my code is usually utterly obfuscated and completely unreadable, but it also works for some reason. I manage to invent all kinds of neat tricks and workarounds that I never would have thought up while I was sober.

Definately depends on who I'm with and what situation. During the summer the Friday Afternoon Lunch (notice the caps) is a routine, but I rarely go now, one because I'm seen as Management and for me it makes the afternoon drag.
I would rather go an hour earlier claiming I had no lunch than sit in the office for four hours on a "thirst".

You, my friend, are my god.

We go out lunch a lot, and many times I'm tempted to enjoy a beverage or two, but then I remember how crappy I feel later in the afternoon.

most of my friends are bartenders...its hilarious to wander in and find them wasted serving drinks. :D

There's a lot to be said for that. During my undergrad days I used to write code for assignments with a bottle of red next to me. In the morning you go back and debug and add (intelligible) comments. I's a good system if you can get it to work.

Taliesin: I have done so before as well, just that I spend twice the time figuring out how I made afterwards :)

usually the "// dunno how it works, but let's leave it" is in there, at the start of my coding :D

Heh. Yeah - I recognise that!

i've been to work before on no sleep with a gram still in my pocket. fucking miserable.

i have this weird perspective now of thinking how i used to function & how uncomplicated things are now that i am clean.......

still am aware of people using around me, doesn't make me jones, just sad.

I'd get fired so fast....err wait, i've gone to work drunk from the night before on several occasions....interesting...guess i still have a job

I have done this a few times, but I am in sales, and I spend a lot of time sitting around or surfing the net at work. If I do go out at lunch and get flogged, I make sure to drink Vodka, as it is the "no tell" liquor.

it's always 5 o'clock somewhere...
