sloppy festivities...

although i often complain about the headache that is the service industry, working at restaurant that co-owns a pub has its notable plus sides -- servers and chefs know how to get sloppy... partying in lieu of christmas and new year's consists of too much free drinking and massive amounts of familiar food from the menu... with my head weighing a few more pounds than normal this morning, i'm well aware that last night's celebration was a success... it blew my tame and slightly awkward holiday party of the journalistic persuasion out of the water...

knowing that some people would have to be up and running in the morning, they started the shin-dig at 2:00 in the afternoon... time flies when you're having wine... as a couple of the chefs and i stumbled around looking for more bruschetta, we were slightly astonished that the clock had only hit 7:30 p.m... well, we think it read 7:30... when i eventually stumbled home at around 11:00, i drunk dialed the bf for a conversation that likely was just embarassing... then, with a tall glass of water and bag of tostitos, i promptly fell asleep in front of the television... don't worry though, for comfort's sake i moved to my bed at some point and awoke this morning uncomfortably still donning my jeans...
