“We drank, we drink, it’s what we do. Wake up, then work the whole day through”

But I’ve not kept to that side of the deal. It’s 11:14 and I was supposed to be on at 9:30. Last night’s clothes lie crumpled on the floor. I can hear them on the terrace below and one word resonates “Jez, where’s Jez, who’s seen Jez?”.

Then a knock at the door. I move towards it, but too late. They all file in and raid my minibar. “We drank, we drink…”.

This organisation is doomed. I dress, go down and give my presentation.

    Hehe! Boys will be boys! (Assuming they are all boys) I’ve worked with guys like that. I’ve retired hurt too... every time.

    Thankfully it was just a dream, a slight exaggeration of past dysfunctional workplaces. The crowd that entered my room were mixed sex though. I wish I could tell myself in these dreams that it isn’t reality. I’d wake up less stressed :)
