YAY! HUMAN HOURS! MORE DRINKING!

sadly, not really more drinking than i do now. i have to be in the office at 0800, which means i need to be up at about 0530. i have to be asleep by 1030. kind of puts a damper on the heavy, mid-week drinking. the last time i worked days in the summer, i was able to run up a bar tab that was a little over 4k. i had been hoping to better that, this summer.

however, drinking on fridays won't be so rough anymore. no more 30 hour fridays, just so i can have a life.

Congratulations! How long will this continue?

Oh that is awesome! Working nights is rough on the body.

@val: this is a permanent change. i am now a daywalker.

reardensteel said, (226 days ago)

@moondust: it is rough, indeed. i am so happy that i'll be free of the whole jetlagged feeling.

wooooo. let the drinking commence.

Moondust said, (226 days ago)

@reardensteel: I did it for a month and I always felt sick. My sister is a nurse and is doing it. She was just visiting me and seriously she looks awful. Her skin is broken out, she's gained weight, she's ALWAYS tired. Poor baby, I want to help her but there's nothing I can do.

the $4000 bar tab covered a summer. 3 months of drinking. it was actually probably more than that. my tab was about 75 daily, including tip.

i spent the summer drinking with a depressed russian whose wife had just left him.

come to think of it, my bar tab for the summer was probably closer to 5 or 6k.

@reardensteel: Wow, can you handle it? Do you even remember what sunlight looks like?

Moondust said, (226 days ago)

Holy shit man! 4K??? I'm a charitable cause, come to my place, I'll give you beers and you can give me $75 bucks. I have pool, air hockey, darts, ping pong in the basement here. It's a great deal!

reardensteel said, (226 days ago)

@val: i do indeed remember what sunlight looks like. i was just out in it, having a lovely lunch (dinner). i don't really remember what it feels like to go to bed when it's dark out, on a regular basis. that's a far more important thing for me at this point.

reardensteel said, (226 days ago)

@moondust: that is indeed a tempting offer. i shall take it under advisement.

what kind of beers? (answer very carefully) :)

jill said, (226 days ago)

wow, fantastic! I worked nights for 4 years and was only able to do it by maintaining a night time schedule the whole time. I'm an antisocial hermit most of the time, so it worked for a while.

Moondust said, (226 days ago)

Milwaukee's Best, of course!

reardensteel said, (226 days ago)

@moondust: hmmmmm. this might require some re-tooling of your beer menu.

des! said, (225 days ago)

<3

Moondust said, (225 days ago)

@reardensteel: See I think if hipsters were so damn cool and 'real' they'd drink Milwaukee's Best instead of PBR. It's cheaper and crappier. Psssh... And PBR is so 1998. ;)

Honestly, I don't care much for beer, so I'd buy a selection based on your recommendations.
