Straight Through

    Ever pulled one of these at work and have a story to tell, ie partied all night, no sleep and straight in to work the next day? Managing a shower would be about the height of it.

    Done it recently after a friends birthday party and just about pulled through. The first few hours tend to be 'ah this isn't too bad' but as soon as you have some lunch inside you it's a struggle to keep awake, like a delayed hangover.

    Do it going to college all the time. Don't think I could do it going into a job though. At least in college I can choose the amount of effort I put in!

    Takes an effort to pull thought the afternoon, even speaking becomes a challenge. Drunk from sleep deprivation.

    Oh god. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god....

    - my thought process for the entire day

    Yeah, I've done it but I'm in college. I have difficulty sleeping at times and going 36 or more hours without sleep wouldn't be uncommon for me anyway tbh.

    Rarely do it these days but years ago I "took a nap" in the shower room of the job after a 2 day bender and basically slept the entire work day in there.

    Just about kept job.

    Only did it once, although I think I managed about an hours sleep before getting up for work...felt great! Obviously still drunk. Lunchtime hit and so did the hangover, queue the vomitting and being sent home. Spent the rest of the day in bed. Never again!

    I remember a plumber I used to work with was a fcuker for this. He used to drink & take drugs thurs/fri/sat/sun as a rule, and if there was football on tues/weds he'd drink a few cans and watch that. Woeful dosser in work too.

    One morning I saw him carrying armloads of pipe lagging up from the stores. "Jeez this fellas turning over a new leaf" I thought. Looked into one of the bathrooms, there he was asleep in the bathtub, on top of all the lagging :D

    Was working in a factory one time.

    Went on the booze, went to bed, woke up maybe an hour later to go for a 7am shift.

    Was still drunk so couldn't see the little metal pieces I was supposed to be assembling. So i got some back up stock (to be put on the production line in the event of a problem with my machine), loaded as much as would fit onto the line, and went to sleep in the toilets.

    Got back to the line maybe 2 hours later, litereally as the last of the stuff was leaving the line, and struggled through the day.

    I remember the person on the other end of the line asking me where I'm been, and I mumbled something vague about working 'over there', which was clearly a lie as people were only trained on certain machines.

    I stumbled in here - a little drunk, a little dazed and unsure of where I was going. I read your posts.

    Now I am leaving atop a mighty high horse with sanctimony for a companion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    Yep, but mine was baby induced and not alcohol.

    And lasted a few months.

    Often? Don't think I could make a habit of it. The crash and burn stage is painful.

    Not quite.

    About 6 months ago I was flying home from Budapest. I was meant to land in Dublin at 10pm. The weather was **** so the flight got diverted to Shannon. I got home at 6am and got up at 7am to goto work.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Did it all the time when I was a student but my most memorable was the night of my LC results in '99. Drank all night, met some guy, canoodled with said guy down the beach of the town I'm from, wiped the sand off me, got on the bus at 6.30am and into the Motorola factory in Swords to assemble batteries. Managed to get some sleep with my head rested on the sanitary bin. Well classy back then, I was.

    Couple of times to many....fun nights though....slowly dying a death as the day in work progress & trying to hide the smell off alcohol coming out of my pores is a job in itself!! I still never know when to go home at the best of times even now...worse with age i'm getting!

    I've somehow always managed 2-3 hours sleep before going to work after a night out. In some of those instances, I may have been late for work though :p

    Used to do it all the time when I was younger. Couldn't do it now at all really. Whenever it does happen life is not worth living. Oh the memories *shudder*
