Going to work drunk

Foxhound38

Only came home at 6AM, now I'm sitting at my desk at work - twisted. Going on a wild one on a worknight probably wasn't my best idea!

What's the After Hours consensus on drunk working? Is it excusable every once in a blue moon? Anyone ever get caught out?

You are a disgrace. Do you know how many people would love your job?????

I think it might be a sackable offence, depending on your job of course.]

If it is, its a bit of a risk and I think most people would be better off phoning in sick than making it into work drunk.

Instant dismissal for coming into work will intoxicated.

Sensible replies...This can't be AH's. Can it?

Crooked Jack

not so much any more but I used to do it fairly regularly. So long as you can still function it should be all right. Slink off to the bathroom every so often for ten minute power naps. That should see you through the day

I'm always at it, never get caught out, thankfully the cops never think to pull the 46A for random breath testing.

IMO it depends on what the job is and how drunk you are.
If it's call center work then being drunk should be mandatory.

OP works in a creche:D

If you're an air traffic controller or a railway signals operator or a brain surgeon, I'd say cut back a bit on the booze.:)

Bad Panda

I did that once, but it's totally excusable as it was a Christmas night out...right?!

Ended up passing out in my chair for an hour. Luckily, I woke up before the suits came in!

Get a mountain of breakfast into you OP! It's going to be a very long day. And the hours of 2-4 will feel like a day in istelf!

You are obviously not public service otherwise you would just pull a sicky (any excuse lol). Therefore you should maybe keep the head down for a few hours and head home early if you can. Try not to breathe on anyone as you probably stink.
Best not to talk, email, phone etc. Be careful about napping in the jacks cos i know a guy who went for a short power nap and was heard snoring loudly for an hour until the cleaner woke him up.

why? what's happening?

Do nothing, nada, zip, NO WORK!!! - at least you'll only cost your employers a days wages.
Instead of a major fukk up that could cost a lot more.

I smell a troll, the OP's spelling & grammar is too good.

samk1

used to do it quite a bit,not as much latley.altough the last time i had a big session the nite before work,i woke up hammerd and was brave enough to call my boss up and say, " look i still smashed drunk from last nite and wont be in ".
As it turns out he has more respect for me now for being honest and not pretending to be sick and slurring my words down the phone with some outragous excuse like the time i said a dog had bitten me on the way to work and i had to go to the doctor!!

Foxhound38

Nope, just in the lightheaded stage. My grammer isn't bad drunk, typing just takes me longer. It's a big reason why for me facebook should have a breathalizer installed!

Lumbo

It's great to see that the OP is still in the drunk and positive stage.

Wait till 2pm and the hungover and suicidal stage kicks in.

Gets popcorn.

Mr Benevolent

The sensible option is to say you're sick and go home. The consequences would be a lot less than remaining in work while drunk.

Been there many times.

OP enjoy the fun part because once you eat some food it will knock you for 6 and you will be in bits.

Big Lar

Don't worry about work OP, you'll sober up in a few hours.

Tell us about the session ? Where did you go ? Did ya drink much ? Chips, did you get chips ?, I'm always dying after chips.

Would often be still a bit drunk from the night before going into work it wouldnt even be something I would see as out of the ordinary, already did it yesterday and will be out again tonight so tomorrow there is every chance I will still be a bit groggy in the morning.

I wont be the only one though as its a work thing, we have work nights out regularly during the week so a good few in the office hungover at the same time is common.

I've gone into every job I've had in fairly dodgy condition at some stage.

Half the country will be in a mess after the Ireland games so people would want to get used to it.

Stiffler2

as long as you're not a truck driver or a pilot I will allow this...

i can't believe people actually do this

keep your head down and if anyone asks say you got the flu. wash the night club stamp off your hand and make sure there isn't a soiled condom stuck to the sole of your shoe, greater men than you or I have been caught out by that

Jester252

Just relax and not think about be drunk at all. Nobody will notice

Good practice for the upcoming Euros imo, you can't go into a major football tournament unprepared!!! :P

Half the drinking population of Ireland has done it at some stage I'm guessing. I have done it before but not for a while and never again!!

JoePie

I've texted your boss, OP. Clear out by lunch.

Logical Fallacy

I went to work drunk once, and I went to work hungover once. Never did either again. It just wasn't worth it and both days were miserable.

Better off the just get drunk and call in sick OP!

Office job in the east wing of the castle no-one gives a sh1t.
I've even got a colleague that wakes me up if I start snoring.
Phone or e-mail beeps usually do the rest.
Breakfast roll at 10am & a quarter pounder at 1pm are medical requirements.
At least by 5pm I'm probably under the legal limit to drive home, pity it's the same car I came to work in.

Sorry to be so sensible in AH but it's an offence under the Safety, Health & Welfare At Work Act 2005, to turn up for work "intoxicated".

It's hard to motivate oneself to work without a great deal of whiskey and coffee swirling around in one's gutty wutts.

Unfortunately for you BattleCorp there is no definition in the act as to what intoxicated actually means. So you have a fair task on to prove the OP is intoxicated.

Sure thats what handicapped stalls are for.

Few years back I was working in a warehouse which dealt with toilet and kitchen paper. Myself and a few of the lads got a pile of the product and constructed a bed in the handicapped stall, good times.

We never got caught either, things were fairly lax boss only ever came in after midday, we would be in from half six.
