Two-thirds empty or one-third full?

Snap! I am hungover today too (no party for Dan, sat up late drinking on his own he did). Fortunately the boss is away and I can just sit here, read internet, and pretend to work.

Thank God for the welfare state. It's 11.30am and my glass is two thirds empty. I'm drinking working class Pimms which all you guys have helped pay for with your hard-earned taxes. (Hard-earned?) I am going to have to sober up so that I can get to the 'bash' next week. Cheers!

I always found pretending to work harder than just doing something. I wasn't drunk last night but I know a few people who were, so it's not like I can't relate or anything...plus, I got myself a bottle of BALLYCASTLE this afternoon so I'll be sloshed tonight! I did also get myself a bottle of that german stuff that ends in milch but I wasn't gonna mention it because I can't spell it. Aldi! Ahh! £38.90 I spent on a weeks worth of shopping...and I got fresh cream donuts, Jive Bars and told the check-out girl to chill out. I've been dying to do that for ages...with a raised eyebrow too. She smiled and told me that she has to do it that quick. It's in her job description. They use bar code snanners now. I remember when they had to memorise the prices AND work like buggery. They get paid pretty well for check-out girls, though. But I imagine that wages would have decreased since they went electronic. Not the check-out girls, the tills. I fancy her really but I know she aint gonna go for a Jive bars eating, ballycastle drinking loser like me. Maybe I should shop at sainsburys once just to impress her. I dunno.

I think you've been 'at' the Ballycastle already Yan. But I've just come across a seriously good writer on Urbis.com He calls himself daverockstar. His blog is justhalfempty.blogspot.com His photo on urbis is just the best! I'm going to try to get him to post on here.

Pretending to work _is_ exhausting, I agree. Get a job you like, for God's sake. Or become a proper low-functioning alcoholic. Make a decision, either way, all. I have decided to make myself a Dubonnet on ice, personally. Mmmm.
