All Work and No Play Makes JPR a Dull Boy
After going too long with all work and no play, at some point you just have to say enough is enough (cliche alert) and go out to have fun, work be damned. Now before you start nodding your head in agreement, keep this in mind...I do dumb things. The whole work hard, play hard concept is a great concept right up until you get to the work part of it. Then it all falls apart.
Segue to jpr's idiocy
Here is the short version:
- JPR goes out for 3 drinks with a friend, Mr T.
- JPR has to work a 12 hr shift in the morning
- Mr T has to catch an early flight
- Bar + too much fun
- Microwave Pizza at 5 AM
- Pre-arranged phone call to JPR: "Wake up, we are going to start running in 45 minutes"
- JPR, "%$?$#! bastards"
- JPR, calls Mr T to leave a message like "Enjoy the hangover on your flight dumbass"
- Mr T picks up the phone
- JPR says, "Aren't you supposed to be on a plane right now?"
- Mr T says, "Uh, yeah"
- JPR points and laughs and then goes to work where he is miserable for the next 13 hours.
I would give you more details but, to be perfectly honest, I can't. As for Mr T, don't worry. He was able to jump on a later flight and catch his Barry Manilow concert in California with plenty of time to spare.
