A recent study conducted on CareerBuilder found that 1 in 5 workers regularly attend after-work drinks with c0-workers. What do they do there? Most commonly, they bad-mouth each other, kiss each other and drink too much. Big surprise anyone?
Unfortunately for you Type A’s, 85% of those attending said that the happy hours did not help them get closer to a higher up position. The survey did not question those who slept with their boss.
The truth is most of you go to work happy hours because you are lonely and want to bond with coworkers. My guess is this is not common practice in Charlottesville because most companies are so small.
Do you regularly attend work happy hours?

You’re at work and that familiar feeling hits. Your bowels say, “Hey dude, it’s time for a little date with the toilet. Let’s go. NOW.” and you’re filled with a sense of dread. You’ve probably got 1 of 2 crappy scenarios:
#1: The single bathroom.
This is the worst. You go in, you try to get to business and inevitably, someone’s gonna come knock knocking on the door. Which sucks because for some reason, your butt hears the knock and gets stage fright. Your butt’s like, “Dammit! Go away! I need to be alone with this toilet. Aghh!” And your #2 is henceforth ruined because you know you’re gonna walk out and your co-worker’s gonna go in and flap their hand in front of their face and say something douchey like, “Oh man! Somebody took a dump-a-rooni!” or else you just know they’re gonna walk in and know that you POOPED and judge you. And you’re mortified. Worst case scenario is when you walk out and that hot chick/dude you have your eye on is waiting. You want to die.

There is this cool little tool called “Wordle” that I discovered on the internet today. You can cut/paste text into a box and it organizes the words into a pretty picture. I played with it for a bit and here are some examples…

I know you’re all counting down the minutes till you can stop slacking off at work and start drinking heavily. Kick off Memorial Day Weekend right and indulge in some patriotic LolPresidents.
Bringing it back from ‘07, inspired by this Fark thread.

Besides the lovely complexity of having too much wine this week, we break the story on Pink Paintballs, (hopefully) find a restaurantuer a chef partner, chat with bartenders and break a rumor of a high end steak place. Oh, we also make some rule.
The week in review continues below:
