I work in a very traditional professional setting yet somehow people think it is fine to have "amusing" quotes/comments relating to alcohol on their desks.

I tried to develop a passion or hobby for certain types of alcohol and voila! Thousands of pro-vodka sites! Vodka is very beneficial for so many reasons! And of course there is the disclaimer at the bottom about benefits if only drunk moderately once or twice a week. Right.

Very valuable and insightful especially all the comments. 2. you are anything but sanctimonious - the ignoramus who said that should look at the definition - you share yourself warts and all - and never put yourself above your readers - thank you. 3. I think you jest - but just in case - you did actually show the sticker lady some love on your blog - by describing the product and letting people know where to get it. Pretty sure we're not the target audience - but her blast did have an effect - and created a funny column for you. <br />Best - Eeyore - Day 120 something (nice not to really count)eeyore.modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878586242292184206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-53387841353654108262016-04-21T07:34:35.965-07:002016-04-21T07:34:35.965-07:00One of the things I've been most struck by sin...One of the things I've been most struck by since setting sail into this sober universe...is the sheer number of us for whom 'quitting' is serious-serious business. (And who,ve had the good fortune to recognize/acknowledge the necessity.) We've 'been there, done that,' learned the consequences of acting stupid (and having multiple drinks, every single night IS pretty darned stupid.,). If our opposite number are 'drinkimg enthusiasts,' I have to wonder...because, sooner or later, so many of them will find themselves needing/wanting to cross the road to our side of the universe. This is an observation, not judgement or sanctimony. Yay to anyone who can have a drink or two. And stop. For the night, for the week, whatever.
