Lunchtime drinking

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just back, my heads a buzz, and a serious dose of the helicopters.

That's what GPRS was invented for. Only it's crap. But yeah, I'm liquid fuelled IT support too, so I'm just "ahhh, turn it off and on again" right now.

I'm fortunate in that I'm one of those guys who sits in the office managing the backend infrastructure but who doesn't have to deal with users so much.

Last time I strayed into lunchtime imbibery was this time last year before our office party, no one told me there was an hour and a half gap between leaving pub and party kick off. Having just got up a nice head of steam, I had to watch it evaporate in 90 mins whilst attempting to dial a phone, operate a Mac, appear in control of all my bodily functions and not nod off. It was hell. Think I'll take the car this year, that should be fun.

Don't do it Red!

Cars are like fine woman and wine...tempting, warm, and after several Quad Southern Comforts and tequilla Slammers followed by Absinthe Whackbacks you KNOW you can drive, better than the day you passed your test. :D :D

Trust me, last Xmas party I did just that, spent 2 hours driving round wolverhampton ring road, in one long slow circle, the car ran out of petrol, i fell asleep and was woken by the fuzz at 6.00 am.... :urff:

Mircale of miracles, i passed the breath test!!! :lol: :lol: :wink:

Once bitten.....this year, no car for moi!!!!!

Just go drink, leave the driving to the cabbies. And the women. :wink:

Full credit to you on BOTH counts my friend...

Cheers Herr Doktor but, I wouldn't know where to start with Unix/Linux, I have been flying Macs since 1985, plus my job is design not geekdom :wink: eh.... I mean IT support. :roll:
