I was once in work with a stinking cold, a hangover AND my period.
Beat that for suffering!
Stuffy nose, throbbing head, queasy tummy, belly cramps, sore back...I don't know how I got through the day.

I'll meet you at 12:30 for a nice Shiraz and a raw egg.

You think that is bad?
I was once at work with a woman who had a stinking cold, a hangover AND her period.

Dispirin and lots of water..also I tend to be incredibly hungry so I eat everything in sight. Usually feel better by 3-5pm

Boom_Bap · 02-09-2015 12:44PM

There is only 1 cure.
Strawberry Yazoo and Flame Grilled Steak crisps.

Menas · 02-09-2015 12:47PM

Adrenaline is the best cure for a hangover....and most other things.

Give your boss a big kiss on the lips. Does not matter what sex they are. The kiss will get the adrenaline pumping and set you up for the day.

Have one of the entries in the day's obituaries off by heart. Or at least that's what I heard some people do to sell the story... *cough*

Drink whiskey and you won't have a hangover.

sbsquarepants · 02-09-2015 01:24PM

Or a job, to be worried about being hungover in. Whiskey is a win win really:D

Look I don't mean to take it out on the OP, but the Irish are categorically lazy and heading out boozing on a Tuesday is not helping..

There's nothing lazy about going out for scoops on a Tuesday then dragging your sorry arse out of bed at some ungodly hour on Wednesday morning and going to work. That's the opposite of lazy.
I'll grant you, you may not win employee of the month that way, but then lets face it - if you do, you're most likely a knob. There is more to life than driving up the profits of multi national companies kjl.

PS: You sound like deadly craic!

Wow, so you think actually doing your job makes you a knob. Your employer is one lucky person having such a talented resource are youself on hand.

Just so you know, when you make your company a lot of money, you get paid a lot of money so not exactly a bad trade off.

And yes, I am great craic and I don't need to get wasted on a tuesday to prove it.

Greed is what's wrong with this country and every other country the world over, I'd love to see half the country go into work hungover today and do a rubbish job just to cost these fcukers some money!

Greed may be a problem but so is apathy. A lot of people do the bare minimum amount of work to go unnoticed by management and get upset if they don't get a pat on the back for it at the same time.

It's not lazy, it's poor planning. Once your in your late 20s you should either be hardened enough to withstand a hangover or have learned your limit.
We all have that realisation that we're getting the same pay regardless of how much we do but time goes much quicker at work when you're actually doing something. I do more physical work so it's easier to switch of my brain when hungover -- if I stop to rest I'd be doomed physically too.

When your hungover at work you just have to suck it up and work anyways. I do dread lunch on those days because that means a big slump. Easier to block it out and keep moving.

I feel your pain brother. Stay strong, I've just managed in the last half hour to actually eat solid food again.

02-09-2015 07:12PM

I lasted till 4 o'clock anyway, packed it in and went back on the beer.

Are you Irish?

If not, then you're bigoted.

If yes, then I assume you consider yourself lazy too then, hmmm? Because the use of the word 'categorically' means that you consider Irish people to be lazy down to the very last one of us.

So, bigoted or self-hating. Which one is it?

No. I think you should do your job. if you accept money to do something you should do it well. I work hard, I make a lot of money for my employer and I get paid well in return. I also don't drink on school nights for what it's worth!
I see plenty of people who just want money for nothing and they're pretty much assholes, and then I see people who basically sign over their souls to the company and they're even bigger assholes. As with most things in life somewhere in between the 2 extremes is the best place to be.

I was born with the fortunate genetic trait of being hangover free and used to go out most nights at one stage, the reason I stopped was 2 fold I got bit older and the novelty off chasing women every night wore off, then i got a mortgage and the money was needed elsewhere anyway. My job didn't enter into it.
The thoughts of going out on a Tuesday now is about as appealing as going to the dentist!

Well, I have been warned about this comment, but to answer your question, I am Irish, but I don't drink.

Your "categorically lazy" comment was a separate one from your comments on people coming in hungover.

So, if you consider Irish people lazy without exception (which you do by using the word categorically) then you consider yourself lazy. Don't be so hard on yourself, hun. xoxoxoxo

OMG HELP!
