A little more wine

[AlexandratheLate]

More wine

The stress of life and the stress where I work
CYA and duck from the line of fire
People making you feel like you're the jerk
Expecting them to do what jobs require

A little more whine

Many work so hard at doing nothing
The rest are scrambling to clean their messes
Long lunches, late to work, always something
waste of time, humanity digresses

More wine please!

By this time I'm thinking stronger liquor
Will help me deal with all this apathy
To help chill and not be such a stickler
Maybe shots of tequila is the key

First round of shots after work on me

Whoa Alex - this relates an awful day! Hope they happen few and far between. (Otherwise you may end up joining AA with some of these 'jerks'.)

More like months RLW. but that's typical with merging entities until they completely clean house. It's been very stressful and I don't really drink - a glass of wine maybe once a year - I do love margaritas but I'm a light weight - one is my limit and rarely have liquor. I'm really speaking of my co- workers who can drink me under the table easily. Lol lol. We joke how our jobs drive us to swear and drink. Letting off steam.

it's better to let out steam than to burst

[AlexandratheLate]

So true. :-)

Hi, AG, this piece touches a nerve. Oh, to live a stress-free, fun-filled life!

[AlexandratheLate]

For others it numbs their nerves lol lol.

You know AtL - I was thinking after re-reading this - 'whine' would work almost as well as 'wine' if you wanted it tongue-in-cheek.

[AlexandratheLate]

I thought about that -- maybe I'll change it. :-)

Dead beat American workers. Silence is the Symptom. Oh, and definitely Tequlia!

[AlexandratheLate]

So true Bobby. OMG their work ethics if you can call them that. Ok tequila it is. :-)

Mostly I'm a beer guy, occasional wine, never anything harder. I promise you it is easer to not give a shit than it is to let others drive you to drink. Drink for fun not frustration.

I'm really speaking of my co- workers who can't wait to get home or Friday to drink. We joke how our jobs drive us to drink but I agree with you. Unfortunately many people self medicate with liquor, drugs and other means.

Aha! A finely tuned blues rueful 'tude here, Alexandra. I could do with a bottle. Oh, truth well told.

[AlexandratheLate]

I think I need to build up my tolerance to liquor. Thank you Grant.

[AlexandratheLate]

Thank you GH for the like.
