I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Speaking of drinking, sort of, we have a neighborhood bar, like walk to it neighborhood. Mr. Jane was up there last night when he got off work, and our regular bartender had a large bloodstain on his pant leg.
Apparently, some guy came in, started throwing barstools over the bar at Steve (the bartender). Steve had already called the cops, but the guy had walked out. Jon went to find him for when the cops came, but he had caused a ruckus at some bars on the strip, so they knew right where he was.
Jon said when they hauled him out he was yelling, "You a cop? I fucked your wife! I fucked your girlfriend! I fucked your mother!" Then they searched him (took a while to get him on the hood of the car), and found e in his front pocket, and he said "I have blow in my back pocket!" which they found.
He then iced the shit cake by spitting in the officer's face.

All I can add to this discussion is I had way the hell too much to drink Saturday. It didn't seem like it at the time, then it hit like a freight train. I try avoiding that...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in high school, we learned in health class that binge drinking was more than 4 drinks for a woman and more than 5 drinks for a man, in the course of an evening. It was also binge drinking if you stayed below that limit but had more than one drink per hour.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know that I heard someone on NPR postulating that part of the cause of The Enlightenment was the arrival of tea and coffee, so people went from drinking alcohol all the time to drinking caffeine all the time.
OK, that's hilarious. And sounds really likely!
yeah I feel judged, but am ok with it since I am fairly certain I am being judged by a pompous ass.
Heh. Relatedly, I was asking my mother about nail polish color for my interview (I like to focus on dumb things I can control, what can I say?), and she pointed out that if they wouldn't hire me because I had the wrong nail polish on, I didn't want to work there anyway. Good call, mom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

January 13th. I envy you your relatively short wait.
When I was in high school they didn't teach us anything about binge drinking. Then again, it was the UK, and it was already legal for us to drink.
It was also binge drinking if you stayed below that limit but had more than one drink per hour.
Dude, that's two drinks with dinner. Or three shots in an evening.

Get hired and change them from the inside.

So my nails are brown, and I'm still having sticker shock: $12!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

How much would that have cost you in NY, Jesse?
I can't remember how much I paid when I got it done here. But I probably overpaid. I certainly travelled too far to get it done.
I now have a team lunch and a team holiday potluck on my calendar for this week. This had totally better be billable time. I will talk shop during them if necessary.
