Eyes like pissholes in the snow

Im still good for a spot of midweek drinking, though I tend to be a lot calmer with it now than I used to! I dont think I have ever pulled a sicky after one, do the crime...etc

The following day in work, when I logged into my computer, I saw that my boss had sent me an email with 6 voicemail files attached: all from me; all from that pissed-up night; all explaining I wouldn't be in the next day; all with different excuses (some saying I was sick, others saying I had jury duty etc); all of me ****ing hammered; and all about half an hour apart (charting a clear and steady decline in lucidity).

What were you drinking? Sounds like a session on the poiteen

agree - if you have to pull a sickie then you have a problem. It's self inflicted - you are not sick.

I dont know if I would call it a problem. Its more of an inconvenience (for your employer)

A problem would be getting your finger stuck in the top of a bottle of Corona and having to go to work the next day with it still there.

I feel sorry for your employer. He/She is paying you for very little productivity from you today so you need stay an hour late every day for next 8 working days to make up the time.

I feel sorry for your sense of humor.

No poiteen but started on pints of lager and moved onto to Guiness with Jamerson chasers (that's what I remember anyway)

True, but we live in an imperfect world. While there's rape and genocide being practiced, I think that a hangover sickie is but a blip.

For some reason a mint cornetto sometime does the trick for me. I feel your pain OP, went for the cure on Sunday and ended up on another session. Needless to say Monday & Tuesday were bloody hell in here.

true....I suppose I just always thought it was no reason to go into work. If your mature enough to drink alcohol, then it shouldn't affect your work...if it doesn't then you shouldn't be drinkin in during the week - although I can TOTALLY see how someone could get carried away if the night is good, I would still always get into work, even if I had to crawl (really nothing to do with my employer, I would just feel crap pulling a sickie for that

I'd say it's not a problem unless you make a habit of it.

I've had lunch at my desk every day this year and i work around an extra day a week in additional hours. Both of which i'm happy to do, but on the very rare occasion I have an extra few beers during the week I am damn sure they will survive with me having a slow day.

Give and take basically.
