Weekend Wine-Buzz, Part Two: "I Needed More Buzz Because Of The Workweek I Had".

[Aristus]

Don't judge me.

Drink with me instead...

[Glamrock]

1. Your friendly neighborhood Glamrock checking in!

[Aristus]

3. Hey buddy!

[3catwoman3]

2. There are some days I wish...

...I could drink at work - like the day I spent over an hour with a teenage girl, and her mom (my last patient of the afternoon. We are supposed to be done around 5. As we walked out of the exam room at 6:15 PM, the mom looked at me and said, "You're working really late."

[Aristus]

4. I've had those days, too...

One does the best one can...

[Glamrock]

5. Bad week Mon frere?

Wanna get it off your chest ? I'm known to have quite the sympathetic ear ya know...

[Aristus]

6. Too much seeing people in pain, people suffering, wondering if I have what it takes

to ease their suffering.

First day of PA School: they asked the student body "Why do you want to be a Physician Assistant?"

My answer was probably ridiculously paradoxical: "Because I can't stand to see people suffering."

They gave me the tools to heal suffering. I'm trying to use them wisely...

[Glamrock]

7. Wow.

Yeah, that would make for a hard week. Especially if you have a hard time compartmentalising. Sounds like your heart is in the right place though. At least you can take comfort in the fact that you're helping people, changing lives, and trying to make a better planet by using the skills you were blessed with. Although, I'm sure those noble thoughts get lost in the minutiae of day to day, it's something you should try to come back to when you have bad days.

Tipping my bottle to your kind heart brother. (Jameson tonite!)
Slainte my friend.

[Aristus]

8. Thank you.

It's Yellow Tail and some Smirnoff for me tonight...

[Glamrock]

9. Got me some candy cane vodka in the freezer.

Up for a long distance shot?

[Aristus]

11. Oh Hell yeah!...

[Glamrock]

13. Tell ya what

Do your shot at the stroke of 19 minutes till. Roughly a minute from now.

[Aristus]

15. Vanilla vodka shot, goin' out!

[Glamrock]

16. Slainte!

Was that a DU first? Can't have been. But a first for me anyway. And really, isn't that all that matters?

[Aristus]

19. Sure.

I'll never forget, after my very first post on DU (in GD, the Lounge didn't exist yet), someone offered to 'buy me a drink' to welcome me.

That was my first experience with cyber-hospitality.

[Glamrock]

21. That was pretty fun.

Watching the clock count down, shooting at the same time with someone half a continent away!

[Aristus]

22. The miracle of modern technology...

[Glamrock]

24. Yessir

You down fer anuder? Say... 5 till?

[Aristus]

25. Can do...

[flying rabbit]

10. Keep on keeping on

Prost.

[Aristus]

12. You too.

Help keep Portland weird...

[htuttle]

14. I've had one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

and I'm ready to go to bed. I'm too old for this.

[Aristus]

17. Sleep tight...

I'm 50. I'll keep on until I can't keep on anymore...

[Glamrock]

18. Spoil sport!

Gnight h!

[Glamrock]

20. Where's that damn Texas towelie at? He usually cheers you up.

Never around when ya need him.

[Aristus]

26. He's probably sleeping it off...

[Glamrock]

27. Or got attacked by one of his cats again!

Poor guy .

[TexasTowelie]

29. The cat is behaving--sort of.

I could have sworn that she snorted a line of speed earlier today.

[Glamrock]

30. There you is!

Missed ya last night.

[TexasTowelie]

28. I just saw the thread since I needed to catch the late evening snooze.

I'm sorry that you had such a rough week at work. The new manager at your clinic sounds like an ogre which is something that I had to deal with during my years of office work. Just keep in mind that employees usually survive a lot longer than managers at most places so there is always hope.

I broke out the vodka and passion fruit juice so I'll have to catch up on the buzz.

[Aristus]

31. I pretty-much told him that to his face.

I told him that I've lost count of how many clinic managers I've outlasted...
