Help me make it through the day.

[Steven Hoodless]

Last night was the Christmas party. It was awesome. At 5:30 I slipped into bed and into a brief discussion of the "where the hell have you been" type with my wife. At 7:30 (only 2 hours later) yours truly managed to heave his wreck of a body and mind into the office. Now two cups of tea, a bottle of water and a banana later only one sickeningly long hour has passed.

How am I going to last till 6pm without crashing out on my desk? How will I survive the multilingual conference call at 12:30? How can I stop my eyes from going all red and blotchy? How do I separate the dreams from the reality?

Any ideas? Is anyone else having a similar day? Please tell me there are worse cases than mine to make me feel a bit better.

Have few rounds of brandy / whisky / rum / vodka. Everything should be back to normal

[Steven Hoodless]

Helen,

Awesome may be an over exageration but I hope it helped to emphasize the drama of my situation. Then again for the father of a 15 month old boy just getting out once in a blue moon feels awesome.

Wish I could report wild and wicked deeds but it was just a great night out with good friends. My first Christmas party in Spain. Awesome!

I'm now getting to the end of the second longest hour of my life have you any advice on how to fast forward to 6pm?

Mani,

Great idea. I'll run it past my boss when he gets in.

Couple of Alka-Seltzer tables every two hours is one way of fixing a bad head after a good night, but nothing can fix you now but a few hours of sleep! Meanwhile, you can rehydrate yourself drinking plenty of coffee or Lucozade!

Now think about your a nice, warm bed, Steven!

....Steven? ...Steven?

Nice one Ashok!

As I was saying...

Consider taking the red pill, only then you'll discover how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Try cartwheeling across the office, it is guaranteed to wake you up.

Ningunas fotocopias del extremo ? Christmas parties are on the to ban list - too much of these type of celebration.

Helen,

Unfortunately no photocopies were made of any extremes but we did all get a fluffy hedgehog as a present.

Only 45 minutes of suffering left!!

If it will help, my husband would be having much worse day if he came home that late.. He wouldn't have even those 2 hours of sleep. And he wouldn't be allowed to bed before 10 today.

for me peppers (of every color) does help. If I did have little sleep before driving long distance to customer or such I eat lots of pepper while driving. Haven't read it anywhere, but works quite good.

You want to hear something worse??!!?!?
I'll give you something worse!!!
I wish I were hung over!!!
Instead I am 7 months pregnant and sitting here at work, and writing an application in Struts that makes no sense!!! And the goddamned Resin is caching my XSLs!!! And there's nothing about this issue on this board!
And I want an icecream! And a pickle! And I wanna go hoooooooooooooome!!!
(which is over an hour drive from here!!!)

And gimme that banana, I can see it from here!



Cheer up, dude. The day is almost over.
