roneOK, so i'm on my fourth beer and it was the last, lonely Red Hook ESB in the fridge, and nobody else spotted it, so that's cool. And, um. Yeah. I have iTunes blasting music and people are milling around drinking beer and shooting the shit and climbing cubicle walls (not me, honest). There's a vibe of nervous release floating about, and it's simultaneously exciting and enervating. Maybe it's just the collective adrenaline wearing off.
That's all. WOOOOO!!!!! PARTAY!!!!

Date: 2005-12-03 03:17 am (UTC)What's with being able to play music and drink beer at work, anyways? I've never worked anywhere that would allow sandals, let alone a party.

Date: 2005-12-03 12:23 pm (UTC)So California doesn't have any sort of no-tolerance drug and alcohol policy at work or anything? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just can't imagine any workplace allowing employees to sit around and drink beer. Not just because of production but because of spills, people under 21 working in the building, and/or the liability of a drunk employee's behavior at work, or if said drunk employee leaves the building and plows into Bambi, Santa Claus, and Mother Theresa while driving home.
I'm just stunned. Sorry, but I am.

I don't know if this got started during the dot bomb as a cultural thing, but that's certainly where i first encountered it. It definitely is a problem for the reasons you listed. I'd like to think that we policed each other well, and i never heard of anyone getting plastered until after they left the building.
