I work in a bar. Have done now for nearly 3 years and although I am currently trying to change 'career' so to speak I have enjoyed the vast majority of it. Last night was one of those reasons that I will miss it....(but only a bit).
It was a usual Friday night. Busy to start with. Then a bit quieter. Then busy again. Somewhere within this fairly predictable evening was a bottle of Russia's finest Stolichnaya. The fact that we even have this in stock feels like we have gone back in time some 15-20 years but for some reason it was there. In the freezer. With shot glasses next to it. Also sat in the freezer.
Now I do like to have a drink (see Blog title....) but drinking vodka straight has never (and never will be) my drink. It induces memories of being 14 and acting like what I would now describe as 'a cunt'. ANYWAY, being the amazingly independent, strong-minded person that I am I drank said vodka and WOW do I feel rough today. Granted it didn't help that I also had a handful of tequilas, 3 pints of cider, 2 pints of lager and an ale all for good measure. For someone who has been selling alcohol to the masses for all these years you would have thought that I'd know better.......but I don't.
So now, at 3pm in the afternoon I am sat, listening to OK Computer on beautiful vinyl, at full volume trying to blow away the cobwebs. It was working until 'Fitter Happier' came on and then I felt like opening the window and jumping the unimpressive height of one storey to my pitiful death. Or maybe just break my ankle. Or probably nothing at all. And then I'd look a right dick....
