In Ottawa I had a prof who started drinking at 10AM in her office and was blitzed by the time we hit the pubs after 6/7. Not obnoxious or anything, just kinda turned into Julia Childs as the day went by,though iDunno if Childs is drunk or just old/senile.
i feel dumb now. i always thought my job was great cuz we have a loaded fridge; loaded with sodas. none of my friends get that, they pay money for their soda. but i don't drink during work, at lunch or before work. cuz when i start, i usually finish, and the boss won't exactly like me swaggering and swaying through the halls, talking gibberish at the monitor or starting fights with people who come by the helpdesk. now that i think about it, i think i could get away with it, but it's probably good for me to curtail my drinking in any way that i can.
school on the other hand is a very different story. the minifridge at the dorm was always stocked [with sweet guinness], and whenever i hear jim morrison say he wakes up and grabs a beer (roadhouse blues), i'm required, by law, to do the same. it sure is fun learning with a buzz; or skipping class and getting hammered.
Baby spit up on my third outfit of the day; two year old is running through the house and he's not wearing pants (again!); the eight-year-old is accusing the six-year-old of undermining Barbie's attempt to sufficiently decorate her house (ie., they are fighting again); clients are emailing wanting to know if I've finshed their projects and want more work; and I have a mother of all headaches: a drink sounds pretty darn good. Too bad it's only 7 am.
I have a beer or two with lunch sometimes...today actually. Some people freak out about it, but my lunch hour isn't paid and that never stopped me at my last job anyway.
after some beers you stop to disagree with what the conservatives post?
As a Calgarian <Alberta, Canada> and a designer. I am required By law to invibe at lunch with clients, I can't remember the last time I have had a meeting in our office that didn't end in "Lets go talk about this over some pints". Although lately I'm finding that the Rusty Nail not only impresses the client but doesn't have that laggy full of beer felling after. yes drinking is just part of the day.. shudder, where is my mickey?

Does everyone see that? Now, buy me enough beer and I'll probably even try to argue for your side!
