Friday

I am hungover. I am yawning approximately once every minute and a half. I have smudged mascara under my eyes because yesterday was the day that I discovered a genuinely waterproof mascara. I am never using it again, because I don't understand how one is supposed to get it off. I can taste whiskey in my mouth which probably means that I smell.

At 9:30 I went to the bathroom and thought about arranging a long line of paper towels on the floor, curling up on them and going to sleep. I realized that was impractical so I tried to take a nap on the toilet. It did not work. I contemplated throwing up, just to see if it would make me feel better, but I was concerned that someone would overhear me. That risk may have to be taken soon as a feeling of actual nausea is forming.


I just went to the bathroom and threw up a whole wheat bagel and a granola bar. I really hope that was the throw up that cures me and not the throw up that is the beginning of Throwing Up. I don’t think anyone heard me, though if they did, they probably just assumed I was bulimic and needed to throw up my breakfast calories.

To add insult to the injuries inflicted by alcohol last night, I found out that, on the night in question, Re-Boyfriend’s co-worker went home with the previously thought to be gay man and “banged the shit” out of him. Even though no one I have ever met in person knows that I was adamant about that man’s homosexuality (aside from Re-Boyfriend, who never counts) I am now incredibly embarrassed about my previous post. Maybe it’s the hangover, but I seem to have developed the ability to be embarrassed in front of myself.

Ugh, now I am hungry and nauseous at the same time.

Ditto and ditto- I just got into work and my head is fucking pounding. What if she just made it up and really got rejected? That's what I would think.

strange bird said...

Either she made it up or he's bi. You weren't wrong, CB! ;)

Kefla said...

Was it Re-boyfriend or his co-worker who said "banged the shit". Sounds like someone was rounding up.

Is there independent banging confirmation? Or perhaps someone else is embarrassed and covering up?

Also, evidently this a sort of hangover week for office slaves:

Wow I'm just as shocked as you are. I was convinced he was gay from your account of the evening. I'm not so sure I trust that this "banging" actually happened...

Christine said...

Head pounding? Check. Nausea? Check. Total and complete lack of productivity today? Check.

I've decided that I might be getting too old to go out on a Thursday night.

Rosey said...

CB, Hope you feel better. Take 3 Advil and guzzle a liter of Poland Springs. & I Hope you had fun last night!

I am glad that I can not drink. I couldn't handle having a hang over and going to into work the next day. Try to relax this weekend.

I have always found that eating scrambled eggs with a LOT of salsa mixed in it wourks, with a spicy V8 juice to rinse it down. As always, WATER WATER WATER!

Texas Cinderella said...

Maybe it's the other way around and she got "banged the shit" out of when Gayman threw her and her advances off of him....

Andrea said...

AFter reading this post, it reminded me WHY I dont drink to excess anymore...that morning "should I puke to make myself feel better" conversation is one I never wanted to have again

sorry to hear you aren't feeling well....

Naughty, naughty, naughty.

Why do you punish yourself like this?

When will you learn?

No amount of "fun" is worth spending the next day in misery barfing your brains out.

You must never,ever do this to yourself again.Do you hear me?

Now promise "I will never, ever, do this to myself again".

Good.

Behave.

Feel better.

When I was your age, chocolate milk used to do it for me. Now, I just don't get drunk.

Drunken Master said...

Awesome! Doesn't it feel great to be a college student all over again?

Surely you're going to drink yourself into a stupor at Happy Hour today to get over the current hangover. That's what I would do...

If not, Gatorade has always helped me out.

Stardust said...

CB,
don't let that guy having sex with the opposite sex deter your trust in your own Gaydar. He could easily be in the closet...
Maybe that girl was just lucky to get him before he figured himself out.

taza said...

...or he could be gay, with a het kink or 2....i think that's called 'bi' lol!
do you read 'savage love'?
