The alcohol is oozing from my pores...
And I feel like crap. I'm sitting in my cubical, it is 10:25 in the morning, and I have yet to do anything productive. How did I get this way?

It started after mother's day when I went to the airport to catch my flight back home. My flight was over booked so I volunteered to take a latter flight and in return United gave me a free round trip ticket any where in the lower 48 not only that but they also gave me a free upgrade to 1st class .

Having time to kill I sat in the air port bar for around three hours then boarded my flight where a nubile stewardess gave me a cocktail before I even sat down. The next 1.5 hours were filled with the same hottie bringing me a new screwdriver before my old one was even empty (now that's service). Once I got home at 11pm my roommate talked me into going to the local with him where we continued to drink until they throw us out at 2am.

Now, I'm sitting at work hating myself and wishing my headache would go away.

I don't think me boss would like that idea.

Though all of the suits are currently out of the office at some meeting.

More boze is the last thing I want right now. What I really need is a big glass of OJ and a nap.

Try drinking too much coffee. Strong coffe that is. Your efficiency will drop tremendously, but at least you'll feel relieved until the end of office hours

Spiffor: I've been slamming tea since I got here and it is helping a little.

Japher: I would try your remedy but I don't know where I'd find an egg or tomato juice at work. Strangely, we usually we do have beer in the designated "beer fridge" which we drink after work for TGIF.

I think I will be skipping TGIF this week though.

Friday is a long way off, Oerdin. You'll feel a lot better by then.

I feel your pain. Hang in there. Water + advil + something greasy for lunch (if you think your stomach can handle it).

Oddly enough I'm actually very hungry. Normally when I drink to much food is the last thing on my mind.

The lower 48 is an American slang for all the states except for Hawaii and Alaska. I'm thinking about using that free ticket to fly to the Apolyton meet in San Diego this summer.

See Here.

Oerdin,

I remember a horrible hangover I had in college that was utterly obliterated by a huge steak & cheese (aka Philly Cheesesteak). It took me over half an hour to slowly force that thing down (feeling most of the time like I was gonna puke) but shortly thereafter the hangover completely disappeared. Just vanished. *presto, you feel fino*

That ruled.

Hmmm, Philly cheese steak could be on the menu for lunch. (You're getting me even more hungry; I hope I don't puke when I go to eat)

Fried brakfast works wonders as well. Couple of egss, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, beans and some coffee is about as guaranteed a way to get rid of a hangover that doesn't involve staying in bed till it is gone

Hair of the dog helps as well though. A sly pint during lunch hour would set you right back on your feet.

I feel so much better now that I ate; thanks so much for the hang over cures. I went with a coworker to a Persian restaurant and those lamb kibabs just hit the spot. Throw in some mint tea and a lot of water and now I'm feeling like myself.

I've never gotten over a hang-over faster. I'm a new believer.

"Hair of the dog" never worked for me.
