9 X WHY IT'S A SUPER SMART IDEA TO WORK WITH A HANGOVER
Hey hi there, we're back. First, a little warning. I wrote this post the morning after saying goodbye to Jet, and you can read a bit – just a tiny bit – about how I kept my reputation prrrrima high in the text. And no, I'm not proud of it either.
Alright, here are 9 reasons why it's a super smart idea to work with a hangover.
1. When you have a hangover, everything kind of goes past you, especially the stupid, difficult, and intense things. Which can be nice for a change, especially if you're as much of a stress chicken as I am. Tok tok tok tik tik tik tok tok tok tik tik tik. Sorry, lame. Very lame.
2. When you have a hangover, everything kind of goes past you – oh, wait, that was already there. Huh. Focus now.
3. A hangover makes you crave greasy food in the afternoon. And the fun part is that you can indulge in it without guilt, because: see points 1 & 2. ENTER Flemish fries with mayonnaise.
4. A hangover is (in principle) incredibly cozy. A jab from a colleague? Laughing! Weird email? Laughing! Oh, you have to throw up anyway? Laughing! Oh, you couldn't make it to the toilet and threw up in the trash can instead? No, that's not so funny.
“Dear people, Guus is going home!”
5. When you have a hangover, shopping is delightful. Now, it's always delightful to shop, but now it's just even more delightful. Because since a lot goes past you, you finally dare to treat yourself to that beautiful handmade expensive leather bag! Oh, and basically, it is indeed a tiny bit weird to go shopping while working, but you don't care because you have a hangover. But if you don't want to get caught, you just take a little ‘detour’ during your lunch break, and then you just dash to Zara, the PC, or in the worst case, the local Zeeman, because you have to do something. Yes, then you just buy a few pairs of underwear for your boyfriend or such a crazy big nightgown.
6. When you have a hangover, you can, completely unbothered by guilt, go home early with the words: ‘Dear people, Guus is going home!”
7. You enjoy the fresh air even more, even though you have the most ridiculous office garden that exists.
8. You finally dare to approach that colleague you secretly find incredibly attractive. Because today, you're not worried. Unfortunately, you've also forgotten that you have a huge mess, but with a bit of luck, your new love finds that a manageable downside.
9. You finally dare to write that difficult email because you just don't care today about whether your email will turn out well. Because you're just brilliant at what you do, moddafokka!
That was it.
Guus is going home.
