Over hung

By nopasanada | Published: October 27, 2005

I thought I would be able to come up with something. I felt ok on the walk to work, but sitting down now, I’m reminded of my purple calamari. You see, calamari turns purple, when mixed with eight glasses of pinot noir in your stomach.

I really wish I could remember how I got home.

Nothing says Happy Birthday, like a good ol’ hangover and arriving to work at 1:45 PM.

Christ.

**Addendum**

Things that are difficult to do while so fucking hungover you might die:

  1. stand
  2. walk
  3. send a fax
  4. scroll up and down on the computer
  5. move the mouse
  6. look into the cabinet above my desk
  7. move the flowers on my desk that are blocking the cabinet
  8. speak
  9. not use the word ‘fuck’
  10. eat
  11. drink
  12. work
  13. book a flight
  14. answer the phone
  15. keep my eyes open
  16. attempt to not die

    I take it the purple calamari implies you didn’t get your birthday wish of not throwing up?

    Don’t be too hard on yourself. When you’re old and boring like me, you’ll get to work on time on the day after your birthday. Live it up while you still can!

    I have no idea how I made it to work, because right now I am completely non functioning.

    Hmmm. You don’t remember getting home. Well, if you have a “rash” in a few days then well, you’ll know.

    Happy Birthday!

    OMG – purple calamari. Does this mean it was or was NOT a happy birthday?

    Seriously now, how long is a hangover supposed to last?? Because shit, this is getting annoying. At least now I can read and answer the phone at the same time. Baby steps.
