I Drove To Work Drunk
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Drinks, Work |
Holy cow. The drive to work this morning was ridiculous. The hum of my car made me so sleepy. As did the soothing sounds of all the other cars on the road. And the monotony of the freeway lane lines were identical to the process of counting sheep.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time!
Shaking my head and dancing to loud music was the only way I got to work today. You know why?
Because once again I chose not to sleep. I love doing that when it involves fun. However I’d rather not do it two nights in a row. But obviously that’s a lie. Because I did it. Fun can suck it sometimes.
You know what they say? And by “they” I mean those random voices that make up our boundaries and rules in life. They say that driving on no sleep is like driving drunk.
Well today I drove drunk to work. The upside: I didn’t consume any extra calories by way of alcohol, I don’t reek of liquor, I’m not slurring and I haven’t stumbled down the hallways.
Hoping there is a nap in my future. As it appears right now, work life won’t allow that today.

Apparently I drive drunk a lot… This can’t be good for my image as a ‘Mormon’. lol

MooKooJoe: You don’t sleep much either?

Not really. I get enough though. I hope.
My comment was in reference to when I chill with my crew though. When we go to do something, it’s usually at least an hour drive away from wherever we’ll be crashing that night, and we usually don’t start heading home, until everyone is getting tired. Which is, as you have just pointed out, probably not the safest thing in the world to do.
