I can't have a bar in the office. If I had a drink everytime I needed one in this office, I'd never get any work done.
Ayup.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Being raised by non-drinkers, I'm always a little baffled by people who want a bar in their office.
I'm just used to sitcoms and whatnot of the '60s where people had bars in their office, so I've always thought it'd be cool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't even know what Project Rungay is, but it's possible I'm not a fashion target audience.
Most places I've worked have had explicit rules against drinking in the workplace.

Yeah. But once in '95 I had a boss from Australia, who told us it was very common for folks down there to drink on their lunch break. Like, say, three drinks - enough to be noticeably affected.
I wonder if this has changed. bt?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Apparently there's a new show tonight by the writer of Sealab, sounds like it might be up some Buffistas' alley: [link]
Like most of the Adult Swim school of comedy, pop-culture references abound, be they obvious (Krav Maga enthusiast Archer dismisses karate as "the Dane Cook of martial arts"), more obscure (when Archer asks Lana who would want to wear a flaming suit, she replies, "Cosplay enthusiasts!") or both (facing an ironic circumstance, Archer moans, "This is like O Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation!").

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a site that started with Project Runway recaps, and has expanded.
My problem with drinking at work is the nap factor. On one of my last days at my old job, I had half a beer at lunch (a Shandy), and really really wanted to nap in the afternoon. More than usual, I mean.

And also I needed to shut her up basically telling me that I am a control freak. DUH!
Yeah, somehow I wouldn't think that would be news....
