the end is the beginning is the end

Wowzers. Believe it or not, it is another MG, super drunk post.

The glorious Snaggle is in town this week, unexpectedly, but happily so. Snaggle drove down to Missouri to hang with me on my drive cross country last month, so the least that could be expected of me is to hang out with him, no matter how late I’ll end up being to work tomorrow. If I even make it in at all.

I’ve got nothing productive to say about the evening other than that I had lots of fun. I wish there was more events to relay to you, but I’m so tired, and so drunk, that I haven’t quite parsed everything.

But I do know this: Nikki will be heading home from American Idol tomorrow. Gay guys love Justin, also from American Idol. When you hang out with lots of gay guys, straight women will throw themselves at you. One girl forcibly entered her phone number into my cell phone. Another made a point of making sure that our mutual friend had my number.

Seriously though. That’s all I can really remember. I drank a lot, and had lots of fun. I seriously love when Snaggle is in town. I wish he lived near by.

I need to go to bed now. Then end.

***SOBER ADDENDUM***

The last time Snaggle was in town and we hung out I ended up 3 hours late to work the next morning. That day ended with me, and my then boss, getting into a screaming argument while standing in the men’s room of our office.

That night out with Snaggle was an indirect precursor to me quitting that job, which left me without full-time employment for nearly a year.

Before I met up with him last night I said, “Things will be different this time.” And they were. Sure, I was late to work (only about an hour). And if my boss were in the bathroom room with me, it’d be uncomfortable in and of itself, just because it’s one of those one-person bathrooms and I haven’t needed someone to help me wipe in years (okay, months).

Besides, this job is much more casual, in every respect. I’m happy here. It’s the kind of place where I can go out and have a great time with a dear friend and come in the next morning late and oozing booze from every pore without anyone giving me shit for it. And really, that’s all I’ve ever wanted from life.

It's almost good to start out with a job with tyrants like that, cause then you REEEALLY appreciate the laid-back bosses.

You may have hit on something with the hanging-out-with-gay-guys thing. Makes you twice as sexy, and three times the caffeine.

I'm not sure I could possibly be even 3% sexier, much less twice as sexy. And I wont even mention the caffeine, mostly because I'm not even sure what that means. I'm so not down with today's hip street lingo.

when you can show up late for work reeking of booze, and have everything be cool, it is indeed a good job.

a better job is when you don't show up and don't call, they realize this is just because you hate the phone. i have such a job.

now if they would pay me money, that would be good. but as it is, i can subsist on peanuts.

actually, reeking of booze is one of my job requirements. i'm quite good at my job.

Of course, the best kind of job is where you go out boozing with your boss and you both show up late for work. :)

I'll post about my cross-country (well, cross-half-country) adventures once I get back home.
