:: Server Stories: Part XII - Shift Drinks ::
Anyone who's ever worked at a restaurant in any capacity knows that every once in a while, you absolutely need a drink or four afterwards. It's not exactly a secret that waiters and bartenders like to drink and I'll be the first to tell you I'm not exception.

Still, considering that I've been at work from 10:30 in the morning till 1:45 at night, it probably wasn't the wisest of decisions to go out with a couple of co-workers for drinks afterwards and have four beers and a Tanqueray and tonic (I swear on my mother's grave - if she was actually dead - that I didn't order that, it was the bartender's mistake and I drank it anyway because, you know, it's still booze) while I was exhausted after long - albeit lucrative - day. Now, four beers for me is normally nothing but take into account a long exhausting day and a rare empty stomach on my part and I'm thinking right now that maybe I should have just gone straight home. Not that I'm drunk blogging or anything but I have a nice buzz going right now.

And to think, I get to do this all over again at 4:30 tomorrow... er... today? Ugh. I'll let you know how it goes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pass out.

EDIT: So I woke up around 11:00 this morning feeling fine. This isn't good. It's just going to encourage me.
