I look at my clock and it\u2019s 10 am, I\u2019m late again. I rushed to the bathroom, throw some water in my face, and fly down the stairs as I try to fit my keys and papers in my briefcase. It\u2019s too late to take the train but I don\u2019t know where I left my wallet and phone. I knew I should have gone home after those three drinks.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s now 11 am and I\u2019m finally at work. I step into the tall, well-lighted, and busy building and immediately rush into the first elevator that opens. <\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations on the job promotion,\u201d said Julie with a smile on her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you!\u201d I replied while hiding my eyes from the unusual bright elevator lights. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been out celebrating, haven\u2019t you?\u201d Julie asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYea,\u201d I replied nervously.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou always find a reason to go out and have fun, your life is so much more interesting than mine,\u201d Julie said as she stepped out of the elevator. <\/p>\n
Finally, the elevator gets to the eleventh floor and I can get out. I take the long way to my office. Mainly to avoid Mark, my boss from seeing that I\u2019m one hour late. I\u2019m so thirsty I could drink a whole gallon of water in two sips, it\u2019s not even noon but I\u2019m so ready to go to bed. But I know how to make all this better.<\/p>\n
I go to the cafeteria and get the biggest cup of coffee they have to offer. Quickly, I rush back to my office and in one of my cabinets, I store something that will take this coffee from 100 to 1000. I pour about a cup of Smirnoff into my coffee and now it\u2019s ready for me to drink it. <\/p>\n
Not an hour passes by and I finish my giant cup of coffee. I really thought this coffee was going to wake me up and keep me going for the day. It used to do the trick, I guess I just need more. So I go down to the cafeteria for the second cup of coffee, but this time I add about two cups of Smirnoff, now this will do. <\/p>\n
I get through the day just fine. On my way home, I stop by the bar I was in last night. I was just looking for my phone and my wallet. I was lucky this time because Daniel, the bartender had saved them for me. I wasn\u2019t so lucky last time. I walk home and take a cold, long shower. When I get out, I got a call from Bobby, my best friend. <\/p>\n
\u201cWanna go bar hopping?\u201d Bobby asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, I have to wake up early tomorrow, I got to meet a client at 7 am somewhere around Central Park,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a couple of drinks, we will be back early. You know I\u2019m getting married soon so we got to enjoy the time we got left,\u201d Bobby said laughing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, alright. I will meet you at 7 pm in the bar near my place.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s ten past seven and Bobby is still not here. I guess I will get a drink to get the night started. I don\u2019t know why I came here early, I knew Bobby was going to be here late. He is always late, even when we were in middle school and his mom used to drop him off, he was still late. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he is late for his own wedding. By the time Bobby got to the bar, it was almost eight and I already had a couple of drinks.<\/p>\n
I know I have to go home soon, the client I\u2019m meeting tomorrow is very important for the firm. However, we decide to have two more drinks at another bar, just two more and then I will be off to bed. I get an Old Fashioned while I\u2019m having a nice conversation with Bobby. We talked about how well our work lives are, Bobby is an architect and I\u2019m a lawyer but at some point, we were college dropouts and had no clue where our life was heading. We discussed going to Montana to visit my parents but maybe in the future. Many hours later and fifteen cocktails later, I realize It\u2019s late and I must go home. I was actually supposed to be home a while ago, this time I grab my wallet and my phone and get an uber. I take a couple of cocktails to go to keep the fun going.<\/p>\n
When I get home, I immediately get in the shower because the uber driver mentioned that even my pores smell like alcohol. I let the cold water run through my body as I finish my last cocktail in the shower. Suddenly, my eyes close and just like that I\u2019m asleep or at least that\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s 8 am. I\u2019m late again, this is the fourth time in a row. <\/p>\n
