How to Beat a Hangover at Work
I’ll lay it out for you right now because that was clickbait: There is no way to absolutely beat a hangover at work without calling out “sick”. But in this weeks episode we do our very best to find a cure from people in the workforce who claim they have some healing powers since boy we are dealing with a brutal one in this episode:
The number one thing I don’t miss about a real job is being at a desk hungover. It’s the closest I’ll ever come to being in an actual war. You’re fighting tooth and nail doing anything in your power just to get to 5 o’clock. Hangovers always made me more thankful for the invention of plumbing. I had a system around the clock of every 60-90 minutes at my computer and 30 in the stall just scrolling Twitter and Instagram mindlessly. Rinse. Repeat.
Here’s a hack I used to pull that didn’t help with the hangover, but will win you some points in the office. If you’re ever hungover or late to work bring donuts for the team. No one can be mad at the hungover and late guy when he shows up with a couple dozen donuts from Dunkin’. Coffee, bagels, and cookies all work too. Got some leftover candy and a bowl after Halloween and tied one on during a NFL Sunday. Bring it in. I pulled that donut move a couple times and it worked like a charm every single time. Corporate America is funny how soul-sucking and mindless it is that when someone strays from something out of the ordinary of the day to day it like snaps people out of this trance like they just went up the elevator in Severance (the new trailer looks great!) Thanks to the great people of Spruce Street Harbor Park for having us! Their season ends November 3rd so swing by before it’s too late! Go chill with the amazing bartender we had on the episode! Also say something nice about the new tablecloth. We’re moving on up like the Jeffersons, folks.
Listen on Apple or Spotify if you can’t stand our dumb hungover faces. I mean look at that thumbnail:
