My Very Big, No Good Hang Over
Today I am very very hung over. Last night was the office Christmas party and I am now suffering for my abuse of the free bar and my bright idea that I should order as many drinks as I could carry (at least three) on each visit.
However, not everything about a hang over is bad. Once you get past the pounding headache and the ill stomach there are some benefits to having a hang over.
I don’t have to be intelligent, fast or witty today. I can be as slow and dim witted as I want. I don’t have to expect anything from myself so I can freely walk around in a daze. This also means every achievement, no matter how small becomes an epic accomplishment. Even the act of rolling out of bed this morning takes on the same level of achievement as climbing Mount Everest. Being able to write this post with a hang over may even be equivalent to the greatest accomplishment of non-hung over man kind.
I’m going to crawl under my desk and hide now until the hurty pain goes away.
Emiel – It is hard going back but losing the feeling of someone using a jack hammer in your head makes it balance out.
Roxanne – You have no idea how many times I have to re-tell those stories at office parties :p
Matt – I think asking a hung over person a question should be illegal.
Latina – Only to catch my flight to England
