I'm having a rough day and instead of focusing on work, I've been drinking. I'm quitting next month and have no desire to be here. AMA!

Whatchu drinking hombre?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

Crystal Palace gin. $6.99 at the liquor store across the street.

[–]ostrow19 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ugh that stuff is literally the worst liquor I've ever had

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know, it's terrible. But it's cheap and I'm dumb.

Neat; I wish I could get away with mixed at my desk.

i too have been known to get slightly intoxicated before a shift of work. The problem i usually run into is, after about 3 hours(i cant drink at the job) i get tired and ready to pass out. Do your peers not care that you drink on the job like mine?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm the same exact way. I have an "emergency liquor drawer" at my desk. If I go to the bar for lunch and start getting a little sleepy I always break that open to keep me alert (as ridiculous as that sounds).

i hear ya buddy, sometimes ill sneak in some shots of peppermint schnapps so my breath isn't too boozy

Good call, I drink gin and blame the smell on hand saniizer.

[–]Skribz 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

The key is to keep hand sanitizer at your desk so anytime someone comes by you just spritz it on and then you don't have to drunkenly explain yourself.

What do you do?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 17ポイント18ポイント  (7子コメント)

Technically, I'm a structural engineer; I have my certification and my EIT. But they've stuck me doing data entry for purchasing steel (a monkey could do it if you taught them how to add) for the past 1 1/2 years.

Which buildings do you build so I can avoid them?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

hahaha. I work in the Western Pennsylvania area. If i'm designing, I do not drink until the project is finished. If I'm doing busy work (like data entry) that's when the drinking happens. Also, my designs go through 3 levels of review, so a sloppy drunken design would not make it to construction. So no worries!!

Unless the rest drinks too!

Your name had me worried you were a pilot.

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hahaha. I am not a pilot so no worries. I actually hate planes and flying.

Edit: drunk.

[–]uberguby 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Is it possible they know you've been drinking and that's why they put you on data entry for the last year?

Would that be so bad?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If that's the case then I completely understand. But this "position shift" happened before I ever drank at work.

Well, I technically deal more with static objects, but I'll see what I can do. First though I need to know; African or European?

[–]crow6671 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

I... I don't know that!

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's an important piece of information!

[–]split_thenight 4ポイント5ポイント  (11子コメント)

asking for a friend, how are you masking the scent? isn't that a dead give away?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

I'm drinking from a flask and it's cheap gin so I say the smell is hand sanitiser.

[–]rutterkin 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

You're not fooling anyone.

[–]hax_wut 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, it's super obvious who's drinking at work...

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fair enough. If people know then they don't say anything.

[–]funfungiguy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You say you're almost done working there.

Do you have another job lined up already? Because if you've been working there for a year and a half, you'll probably want to use your current job as a reference or have a big hole in your resume.

And if they called your employer, and they know you're drunk, would you not be worried he might tell them a prospective employer that you drink on the job.

I used to keep a bottle of irish cream in my glove box and spike my coffee before coming back from lunch. If anyone asked, I just said it was flavored creamer.

[–]split_thenight 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thanks bud!

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's what's up!

[–]trainspotting2 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

It got to the point that it was more irish cream in the cup than coffee. I'm not proud of it, but I fucking hated that job.

[–]deadendstory 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

Still drunk from the night before, or did you get a real early head start?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

I was a little hungover from the night before, hair of the dog my friend! I have a bit of a problem.

[–]deadendstory 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm not here to judge amigo/a. Been there done that. At a sheet metal factory. With loud banging metal all around me, and no A/C to boot. Also the Army. Running in the Army while hungover is a time honored tradition. You'd be surprised just how many times I've seen people puke on the side of the roads in the mornings.

Edit: A word

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Drunk or "buzzed"?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, i almost tripped over a spot in the carpet on the way to the restroom; so you decide.

[–]Coupaholic 2ポイント3ポイント  (8子コメント)

Probably not an important question since you plan to quit next month anyway, but if your boss took you by surprise and discovered you drinking - how would you handle it?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 7ポイント8ポイント  (7子コメント)

My boss and I have a relatively strained relationship. I.e. We hate each other. We do not get along whatsoever and he's been trying to find a reason to fire me for quite some time. He's on vacation until the week I leave though, so I don't have to worry that much. But if he did catch me I guess I would just say "yep, I'm drinking. I'll gather my things and leave." And then gather my things and leave.

[–]le_Captain_Asshat 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Why does he hate you?

[–]MirrorLake 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

Maybe something to do with drinking on the job...

[–]le_Captain_Asshat 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, I mean, maybe the boss doesn't know about the drinking?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hahahaha. He doesn't know.

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm not quite sure. I'm the only one in the office that smokes and he gets pissed when I take smoke breaks (in the employee handbook there is a section detailing smoke breaks and I follow them). Also, he has been working here for 30 years and has that entitled air about him, which I understand, but if I call him out on something that he has done incorrectly he threatens to fire me. Also I told him that I was going to take his job and he wasn't happy about that.

[–]le_Captain_Asshat 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I get it if he doesn't like you smoking, but realistically he shouldn't be such a dick fart about it. Although, the whole "I'm gunna take your job" thing is pretty understandable.

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

hahaha. yeah I know, I try to not lash out like that but sometimes when I get too frustrated it just comes out. Like word vomit. I meant it but I didn't mean to say it out loud, if that makes sense.

If you like gin Crystal Palace is super cheap. It tastes like pine sol (sp) but three of four shots gets you drunk!

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm good man, I have a project going out at the end of the day (5pm EST) so I'm trying to crank that out. Then I have to lead worship at a summer camp tonight (being drunk at work is not very Christian of me, I know). So I'm trying to stay at the perfect level or drunk and sober to accomplish my daily tasks.

[–]Gambition 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

What's up OP. I actually just snuck outta bed to drink some scotch, sit on my sofa and play on Reddit. (I'm in Asia right now, so it's like 3am.) My lady is asleep and I couldn't fall asleep for nuffin. So dranks it is. Trying not to make any noise though. Houses out here are small as hell and she'll be an unhappy camper of I wake her. What's worse is I've got an interview at noon tomorrow and rest is what I'd prefer. Lagavulin instead though. Woe is me, amirite? Man, I'm rambling. No questions really. Spent some time in Pittsburgh some years ago, in case that's where you are. Tough place to make friends, though giving half a fuck about sports and showing love to the Steelers sure helps. The booze purchasing laws in PA are a pain in the ass. Oh, here's a question; as someone who hates gin (I mean me), are you a fan of any dark liquors? I'm about to refill my glass, so this next one is to you. Cheers, my drunken Internet friend. Make sure not to overdo it!

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not a lot of dirty jokes. But the guy in the cube across from me always talks about how attractive the female co-workers are. It is extremely off putting.

[–]megamanxero 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

He must be pretty crude. I like equating women to other pretty things. It makes for more pkeasant conversations.

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, he's otherwise a good dude but he makes some really crude comments. It's always "this lady's boobs this" and "this lady's butt that". He brews his own beer and always brings me sample bottles, so I just put up with it. Hahah

I did this a couple times during my last internship. I was completely alone, in a back office, doing absolutely nothing (and getting paid for it!) for almost a year. The only reason the company hired interns was to received extra funding from the University (They were some sort of University subsidiary, I didn't really get it)

Aside from Goku, who is your favorite character in the Dragonball franchise?

Hello fellow yinzer! I'm recovering from a night of drinking myself. What's your favorite and least favorite parts about our city?

[–]PilotOfPilots[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Honestly, I love Pittsburgh. I grew up/lived in Orlando for 17 years. I seriously love the city. I do have two complaints though: 1. Snow is terrible, I hate winter with a passion. 2. The music scene in the are is not very good. Other than that, it's awesome here!

[–]jaylikesdominos 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

What?! What kind of music do you like? One of the things I love about this place is that the music scene is so great, I can't go to everything I want because there's always something going on.
