Mr. Mackey says, "Alcohol is bad"
I hate being sick! Damn Ukrainians making me sick. They should keep their germs to themselves.
I finished up my project for The Big Pill last week and then headed to Chicago for my first corporate meeting. My company was hosting it's grand opening of their new headquarters, and wanted all hands on deck. It was a nice place, the CEO called the "Play House". I think he wanted to inject the same enthusiasm the Dot Coms had during their heyday, it just didn't work for me. Being sick dulled my excitement for the new digs. And as typical of me, 1/2 a glass of champagne and I was feeling fairly sick.
I've decided to swear off all alcohol after this weekend. As much as I would love to be able to enjoy a bit of the juice with Skyprincess, it makes me very very ill for quite some time. This she has complete confidence in, I will never be an alcoholic.
I have no clue why I can't hold alcohol. It just makes me very very sick. I can't even drink enough to get a fairly decent buzz before I'm folded over with a severe stomach cramp. If you ask me, it's a bit unfair.
After our afternoon session Thursday, everyone went to the party to drink and have very good food. I had my 1/2 glass and skipped out as soon as I could. Between the flu and the drink, I was needing to sleep for hours.
The next morning I got up and went to have breakfast. I felt miserable and decided to skip the morning session. My checkout time was noon, so I woke up at 11:30 and checked out. Then I waited around the lobby to try to find someone from my company. I flagged down the first person I saw with a name badge, it happened to be the VP in charge of the event. I told him I had skipped the morning event due to illness. What I didn't realize until later, is that he might have thought I was trying to sleep off a hangover. How ironic would that be? Not a way to set a good impression.
They have me up for another position in The Big Shoe. I'll be spending the next day or two prepping for the interview. I have a feeling my company wants me to lie about my experience so they can charge $190/hr for my services. I don't like lying about my skills, but it seems like something most consulting companies try to do. Put a warm body in the position in order to bill. It would be an awesome job, if I get it. I would learn a lot.
I talked to my boss about my next assignment. He wanted me to go to The Netherlands for a position. It would require 80% travel. If I wasn't engaged and single, it would be awesome. But it's not something I want any longer.
