When I worked in the city, wine or beer with lunch was very normal. Nobody drove anywhere and most days we only had court in the morning so it was really no big deal. Occasionally a client would take me to a fancy steakhouse and I would have to close my office door and put my head down for a while in the afternoon.
People paid me for this, guys!

I don’t know much about vaping, but are there concerns about second hand smoke with them?

Stardust and Princess Bride were better as a book. If we are talking the abridged PB. The unabridged was too much.
Never read the book Shawshank but I agree the movie was pretty damn excellent.

There are certain jobs where drinking or smoking aren’t a big deal, like bartending.
I usually carried a buzz throughout my shifts.

Uo: the book is always better than the movie (Haven’t thought a ton about this so there’s a chance I’m forgetting something) Jaws and The Godfather would like to have a word with you. Hopefully it's the day of his daughter's wedding... I’ll allow these. But I never read either book and have never seen Jaws.

You know. I want to agree as a book lover, but sometimes it's just not true. Yes, I should come ready with examples but my brain is frizzing. I know I have some... The Shawshank Redemption from the novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Both great, but the movie edged out the novella. TIL that this was a novella before a movie. Should that be a confession? I love the movie.

I wouldn't tell on anybody, but for me, I prefer not to drink or smoke or do anything during the work day. My old office had parties for different holidays and a few bottles of wine always found their way into the mix. I never felt comfortable partaking, although I did order a glass of wine while out to lunch with my co-workers on my last day. No one ever got crazy at the office though.

Only on page 1, I vape, I put cbd oil in the normal fluid. I vape and home and in the street, so many people do it that I'm not sure we have the same feelings over here, I wouldn't care anyway lol.

Well I didn’t wanna sound too much like a lush. I mean, there were a few times I woke up blacked out praying I locked up the bar and deposited the cash correctly. Fortunately I always did, pilot mode is a real thing.

Smoking weed being ok if you work at a surf shop made me lol. It’s so stereotypically hilarious. LOL it was just the first example I thought of! Maybe because I live in the land of surf shops.

I actually haven't read To All the Boys I loved Before, but I flat out refuse to believe the book could be better than the movie. That movie was like feel good heart happiness rolled up in a cloud fluffy joy.
I did read the Godfather before I watched the movie. The movie is by far and away better. Michael the character really needed whatever it is Al Pacino brought to him.

Now, I've learned in my new job that client dinners are a different story. Good thing I've been pregnant for the last two, because it would be very easy to get accidentally drunk when the wait staff at the fancy steakhouse is refilling glasses of wine before they're empty....

My old office had a vodka fridge and on Fridays people would drink mimosas or straight bottles of champagne. It put me in a bad headspace, so I'm just not a fan any longer. I don't give a shit what anyone else does as long as it doesn't harm anyone.

This is (can be) the norm in consulting/financial services. So many liquid lunches. And Wednesday night partying since Thursday was a travel day.

I had a rule when I bartended. No drinks before midnight. I have never been able to drink from the start of a shift and still be functional at the end.

I woke up once at the hotel that was connected to my bar. Like no idea why I got it, no one was with me and I sure as hell do not know how I managed to find the actual room. I even asked the girl at the front desk, she said she thought I was just treating myself. Mind you this is in a ski town during spring break. I spent nearly $300 for this room and that’s including my discount. I still have no clue what i was doing.

MH and I were in Cali during the X-Games once. Everyone happened to be staying at the hotel we stayed at and it was a scene. We got to see a young Shaun White in his drunk prime. Anyway, most nights we would hang out at the hotel bar with these guys. At the time, MH worked in finance. One night, we ended up talking to a bunch of execs from a big surf/snowboard/whatever company that everyone knows. They told us that they have a giant bong on their roof and when they’re stuck or trying to work something out, they go on their roof, take a few rips and get back to work. We were like, “omg, what?!” But the best part was, that they were more blown away by my H. They kept saying to him, “wait. You mean to tell me, you put a tie on EVERY SINGLE DAY? Man. I respect that.” They were in another world.

I used to start my shift with coffee with vanilla vodka and Godiva liquor. Move on to glasses of Veuve. (Most expensive per glass drink that wasn’t a brown liquor so I would always get customers to buy it for me.) Close out the night with shots of Patron. I’ve been training my entire life to drink the way that I do.

Just a little 4am post work indulgence!
