Ok, so i'm a shocker. Everyday i write a new blog i feel i have made it more and more difficult to maintain my integrity. Call me a hypocrite, but even though i have said that i don't abuse alcohol, tonight may be a different story. I don't feel like i have run out of ideas yet and i don't drink to enhance my level of creativity, in fact i must admit that after a few extra drinks, i feel a little stifled. But hey, it's Friday night and if it's a crime to have a few JD's after another long week, then tie me up and batter my ass with a pigeon.
For someone who works Monday to Friday, it is a godsend. Unfortunately if you work weekends, it sucks bigtime. Just about everyone else you know is winding down and ready to relax and enjoy themselves while you have to restrict your intake and go to bed at a reasonable hour. What kind of crap is that? There use to be a time when nothing was open on the weekends and everyone could get shitfaced together. Now you have to feel like a pussy when you're the first to try and leave a social gathering and all your friends are articulating like cavemen that you need to stay. And with peer pressure the way it is, you often end up staying, then regretting it the next day. Three hours sleep, a hangover and an hour drive to work at 6am on a Saturday morning is not my idea of a good time. Sure, when you are younger, chucking a sickie was not a problem. But as you get older there is some kind of weird loyalty thing that goes on in the back of your mind that tells you that it is a crime for you to take the day off work just because you got pissed and had a good time. What's up with that? When did guilt ever enter the mind of a work truant? I can't explain it, it may have something to do with an increased sense of responsibility or perhaps it's just the lingering effects of alcohol impeding your judgement. And i know that even though respect for your fellow workmates is important, they probably wouldn't bat an eyelid if they were in the same situation.
Thank god i'm unemployed!!!
Have a good weekend.
