I’m only posting this so i can link to it in my other blogs
A recap of my week:
Dec. 30th
No one wants to drink with me. I don’t feel like trekking to the Rhino. I am the only one and I drink alone.
Dec. 31st.
Wake up around 1100. Still slightly drunk. I have beers leftover from the night before. Drink said beers for two reasons. a) They are there. b) Do not want to get hungover.
Drink and [clean room and wash clothes] and continue to drink until about 2015. Walk to Bobby Lew’s for open bar and music playing that begins around 2100. Arrive. Order first of what would be many beers (PBR). Have to pay. Order another beer before the open bar starts.
People start to show up. I continue to drink, not really talking to anyone. Random people from Kenyon then show hope. We talk about how we went to Kenyon together. Call Floppy. Leave voicemail. New Years happens. I know this because a) Tyler knows this and b) I remember the taste of champagne. Brings me back to new years 2005 (Norton Night).
Go to a second location. Pretty sure at this point the people I’m with are hippies. Get yelled at. Take cab so that I can take new Kenyon best friend home. They tell me to sleep on couch because it is far to late for me to go home. I agree. Mostly because I am tired and drunk.

Wake up around 1100. Get taken home via zipcar by new Kenyon best friends around 1300. Realize that Ohio State game starts in 3 hours. Shower. Charge dead phone. Hop on bus to get to Rhino. Walk into Rhino. Look right. See pretty much everyone I’ve ever drank with in The Corner in, well, The Corner. Do shots. Talk crap. Cheer for PSU for B10 solidarity. Also, because I’ve had a crush on the one PSU female fan there for like 3 months. PSU wins. We do shots. Get these texts from Bizzo:
Bizzo: Quack
Me: FUCK YOU SKATING
Bizzo: Quack quack
Bizzo: QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK
Call Bizzo to yell at him. He laughs. Go back to watch game. Phone dies (again) Ohio State wins. Do shots. Do Shots. Dance. Do Shots. Probably embarrass myself. Get cab. Attempt to go home. Realize that my Morning (and evening) Jacket is in Bobby Lew’s. Tell cabby to wait. Go to get coat. E tell me to stay and drink. I comply. Probably embarrass myself. Go home, tired and drunk.
Jan 2
Wake up at 1000. Hate Life. Finally hungover (from Dec. 30th!). Go to work from 1300-2130. Find out that I’m not allowed to sleep at the store (liability issues or some such). Have to go home and be back at 0530. My life is awesome.
Jan 3.
Do not sleep. Mostly because a) Sleep is the cousin of death and b) If i overslept, I probably get fired. Realize that no buses travel from Columbia Heights to Georgetown at 0530 in the morning. Have to walk. Leave at 0430. Arrive at 050. Made good time. Set up store. Work. All. Day. Still slightly hungover because I haven’t slept. Finish work around 2200. Fun day. 0900-2100 tomorrow.
Jan 4.
Realize that 0900-2100 is a lie. No one else has safe combination. Store opens at 0700. So I must get there at 0700 (benefit of being only one who lives in The District!). Arrive at 0658. Give employees drawers. Go to CVS to purchase lotion, burt’s bees.Come back to store fully intending to sleep until 0900. Purchasing Manager (from corporate) is there. Realize that today is going to be fun. Change into work clothes. Work. Director of Operations and Senior VP also arrive. Manager of store comes in. Quits. To Tired to do work. Complain entire night. Finish around 2200.
Jan 5.
