Ah, the people you work with.

So, tonight I went to a bar with a bunch of fellow employee's, and even some ex employee's showed up too. Some of these people I haven't seen in a while. So it was good to see them again.
We drank, not to excess mind you, after all still had to drive home. We laughed and shot the shit for a few hours.
One of the ex employee's there brought two friends with her. Apparently they all live together, and invited a few of us to a "slumber party" they're throwing. Keeping in mind they we're all in our 20's. Sounds like it could be interesting, the unfortunate fact is, I'm working all night that night. I will not be attending. Probably just as well anyway. Nothing good could have come from it, I guess. I dunno, maybe. I have poor self esteem as it is, I mask it pretty well. So, I think even if I wasn't working, I more than likely wouldn't show up.
Everything aside, it was a pretty good night.

You know, I used to be of the opinion that drinking and driving is a sport you make it home, and you win. This was when I was 21 or so. Of course at that time, I was 10 feet tall and bullet proof.
At present, I'm a lot more conscious of my decisions. I still joke about it with friends, but I only occasionally drink to excess, and usually its in the confines of my own home.

Mostly when there's a group of us, that are drinking and something happens. I'm always the level headed on that has to take care of a problem. By problem, I don't mean like a scene out of Roadhouse or something. I'm mean someone thats had too much, getting them to drink water, etc. I hate having to fall into that role. I couldn't just have a good time, instead I have to babysit someone to make sure they aren't hurting too bad the next day. Why is it people feel the need to impress others by how much they can drink? Must be something in our DNA. Anyhow, no links to anything good today. Just haven't really looked for anything. I'm going now to lurk around the internet.
