Too much wednesday fun times

fizzypish

Went for grub with the missus last night. Stayed out for a drink. Some of her mates come along. Next thing I know, tis gone 4 in the morning. Got home and realized that if I slept I would never get up. Stayed up. In work now.
I need tips for the next 2 hours to:
Avoid people knowing I'm hungover
I need tips for the next 8 hours to:
Avoid people knowing I'm asleep or dam near it

I've already started on the coffee, water and sweets.
I work at a desk for the day.
Let the pearls of wisdom fall!

O and anyone saying you shouldn't drink on a Wednesday, to you I say, I know and you can **** right off.

Excellent suggestion. Not an option though. I work on the continent too so they are less inclined to comprehend the Thursday hangover.

You said you work at a desk. I'm calling BS on this.

That's no excuse. Your employer is paying you to work, not to sit around feeling sorry for yourself because you overdid it on the lager last night. It's classic Irish 'sure I'll get away with it' type thinking.

Eat a breakfast, have tea. The toughest time will be 11am to 2pm. Then you'll be ok but very tired.

Jasus man. Did your mother not hug you enough as a child or something?

Cocaine. Never had it before. Never know how I'll react!

Breaky has already been sorted!
Good suggestions people. Keep up this energy!

This has nothing to do with my Mother. It has all to do with you boasting on a public message forum about going out and drinking till 4am on a school night. Looking for excuses for your bad behaviour. Will your colleagues have to work harder as a result of you sitting around avoiding work? Will any deadlines be missed? Will the quality of the work you eventually decide to do be of a lesser quality than usual. I despise this sort of casual attitude to work. People are always on about employer responsibilities, but rarely apply the same critical eye to their own responsibilities. Not turning up hungover is one of the basic ones.

Tell your boss you think you've got a touch of Ebola.
Make sniffle noise and hack a cough.
Go home early.
Win!

I currently have a migraine, I will be turning up to work, I will be not very productive for quite a while, I will have to delegate and increase my colleagues workload ...sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug

Mod - stop posting in the thread with this kind of aggressive attitude

Akrasia

The first thing you'll need is chewing gum

The second thing you need is a clipboard

If you carry a clipboard people presume you're doing some work. You can carry a clipboard around all day long, you can sit in the canteen staring at a clipboard (with your eyes closed) and people will think you're incredibly hard working and dedicated. You'll probably get a raise.

ArtyC

Get some black halls/ fisherman friends and tissues, mention having a cold.... The sweets should mask the smell and eyes being tired is the cold

Un Croissant

If anyone calls you out just hit them with a heartfelt plea topped off with 'If that's wrong, I don't want to be right' then you bow to your slow clap as your boss stutters and stammers some square, legal response.

fizzypish

Fishermans friends sounds fantastic. Next time I see some in the shop, I'm buying some and leaving them at the desk. I have a nettle sting on my hand. I didn't even know they had nettles in this country.....

Do what any honest person would do and take a day's leave.

Keep on the coffee.

OldNotWIse

Have you the facility for a hot shower? Night before booze tends to start oozing from one's pores around about midday :pac:

Also, you could do with some soakage - get a breakfast roll into you fast.

magicmoves

Squeeze a full lemon into a glass of warm water, That will wake you up. Also go for a power nap in the jacks:)))

kylith

De-stinkify yourself as much as possible. Go into work, tell your boss quietly that you're not feeling great. Do the best you can for a couple of hours. Run to the loo and be heartily, noisily, sick. Blame the take-away/chicken/seafood/mother-in-law's cooking you had for dinner. Go home to bed with food poisoning.

You'll get to go home to bed and you'll get kudos for coming in to work when you're poorly.

I'd rather waste a day hungover in work than waste a days holidays hungover. As a person who goes in hungover one day most weeks I wouldn't be long using up all my holidays and getting hassle for taking days off.

PizzamanIRL

You shouldn't drink on a Wednesday night.

You drink during the day so you have longer to recover for the next day

muppetkiller

Fresh Oranges are not only yummy, refreshing and a great way to wake you up but great for getting rid of the smell of drink too.

Then set up a few meetings with your pals in work to pass the day.

MistyCheese

If your colleagues notice your bleary eyed hungover state shrug in a slight self deprecating manner and inform them "Es mi dia primero". If anyone happens to cop that you were also in the office yesterday you could try "Bueno, soy irlandeso."

All that's left is to send MistyCheese a basket of muffins as a thank you for getting you out of your sticky situation. Throw in a handful of Lidl cookies.

WinnyThePoo

Hand in your resignation. Theres little or not point continuing this farce.

biko

Fake a heart attack. Take the rest of the day off.

Being paid by an employer and not working because you're hungover is more immoral than claiming the dole.

Did I read this post correctly????

thelad95

Why not just pull a sick day OP? Lots of people have colds and viruses at this time of the year anyway so nobody would even blink an eye. If you're Irresponsible enough to go on the lash on a Wednesday night, you may as well be irresponsible enough to miss work because of it.

So basically it's not immoral at all?

Stupid post is very, very, vvvveeeerrryyy stupid!

Into the jacks with you. Put seat down. Sit on seat. Do not drop trousers. Pick up toilet roll. Place neatly in the angle between shoulder and neck - makes fantastic pillow.
Tilt body to left. Lean head against side wall. Sleep for 2-3 hours.
Awake refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the day.
Works every time.

If you made it into work, you now reek of booze. No way around it, it'll be creeping out of every pore.

Everyone knows what you were at last night.

Accept the fear...use it to keep yourself awake.

Carry a strong hand sanitizer around with you. Use it when interacting with other people. It smells of alcohol and draws away any suspicion.

I'd say right about now, the OP is fecking dying

Ahem , If I may ..... spray your hands with the sanitizer , lick your hands , this method keeps you topped up with alcohol , thus avoiding sobriety.

Disclaimer : your stomach may or may not fall out of your arse.

I never get overly bothered about going in hungover or having a bit of a smell of drink off me (compared to some it appears), sure half the people in the place could be dying of a friday morning so nobody really cares.

fizzypish

I folded like a cheap suit and popped home at 11. There wasn't a savage need for me to be in today anyway. I'll just take it as a holiday. Everybody saying I'm an ass for going in hungover, yup your all right. It was a plebby thing to do and it happens every once in a while. Must just do better in future. Simple as. Thanks for all the advice. Some real pearls of wisdom in this thread.
