Apartment Hunting Misery Part 2 + Tequila Avoidance Therapy

[xraytheenforcer]

Still nowhere to live. 15 days until Homelessness. We look at 2 1 places tonight -- maybe we'll get lucky? (Just got a call that one of the places has just been rented. Fuckers.)

Also, am formally swearing off tequila for the remainder of my life. I don't know what it is about that stuff, but I was wrecked from Tuesday night's outing (going away party for a colleague). Nothing says "Teh Sux" like dry heaves on the subway.

Tequila Avoidance Therapy
(aka Classic Margarita)

2 oz silver tequila
1 1/3 oz cointreau
2/3 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

Shake over ice. Strain into glass. Walk into bathroom and pour the margarita into the toilet. (this cuts out the middle-man, you, from having to gestate the margarita for a few hours -- embarrassing yourself in the process -- before relinquishing the drink to its fate in the sewers of your home town). Flush. Twice. Curl up asleep on the cool, cool tiles until morning.

LOL, Si. That is a brilliant move on the auto front.

I have made it a rule to never commute while nauseated unless it's my job on the line. Alas, Wednesday I simply had to send the TOC out to pre-press, so I had to go into work.

Hmm, I just looooove checking proofs on press day with a raging hangover.

Mind you, the best interview I done in my life was done while I was still pissed from the night before.

Through complete and utter over-compensation for my condition, I took the most comprehensive notes ever. Ended up not writing it up for about six weeks due to one thing or another and wrote it straight from notes - didn't need to check a single thing or make one clarifying phone call.

tried it again a few weeks after that. i/v was a complete car crash

LOL

I did the same thing in an email to a potential landlord. In the same sentence I mentioned I was an editor, and also missed a very obvious possessive. Ah well, blame it on work fatigue.
