Had one too many last night? Work never seemed so much like WORK, did it?

Here are 10 Tips For Getting Through The Work Day:

1. Drink Lots Of Water
Chances are, you’re still dehydrated. So your first step is to grab a big glass of water. Sip it slowly (especially if your stomach’s feeling dodgy).

2. Take Painkillers
A mild-to-moderate painkiller will help with the headache. You might also want to take something to settle your stomach.

3. Eat Something
Most people don’t feel like eating when they’re hungover, but food will help your body recover faster. Try some dry toast or crackers if you really think your stomach’s not up to much.

4. Avoid Conflicts
Of course, it’s a good idea to avoid getting into arguments with workmates anyway — but if you’re hungover, make an extra effort to avoid situations where you’re likely to over-react. One of your co-workers has just said the stupidest thing ever about the economy? Let it go.

5. Take Your Time
Even straightforward tasks can be a struggle when you’re hungover. Don’t rush things. Even if you have a lot of work going on, you’re going to lose more time by making mistakes that you have to fix than by taking your time in the first place.

6. Avoid Clients
This might not always be an option, but if you don’t need to see clients, then try not to. Let’s face it — you’re not looking your best..

7. Tackle Easy Tasks
If you have some choice over your work (and most of us do), then go for some of those boring, routine little jobs that you keep putting off. It’s a good chance to get through them while you’re feeling sub-par.

8. Take a Nap
During your lunch break, or another official/scheduled break, put your head down and take a nap. (Note: avoid doing this when you’re supposed to be working, however tempting it is. It’s extremely unlikely to impress your boss.)

9. Ask For Help
Even if you’re normally totally confident about the reports you write, the problems you solve, or the widgets you make, you might make mistakes when you’re hungover. Ask a colleague to look things over for you.

10. Don’t Mention The Hangover
It’s amazing how many people will tell co-workers outright: “I’m so hungover today.” The last thing you want is for the boss to hear about this … and office gossip can spread fast. If anyone comments on your paleness, just say that you slept badly or that you’re feeling a bit under the weather.

Just Asking … How often do you go to work hung over? Do you have tips for getting through the day?

It is officially 5:52am on Tuesday morning and I just need the day to be OVER!  I woke up a little late today and was rushing into work.  Our station building is downtown, so I park under the building in the parking garage.  Just like EVERYDAY!  I take the first elevator to the main floor and say, “GOOD MORNING to the security guards!”  He responds with a simple, “HELLO!”  I then go to the next set of elevators just like EVERYDAY and push the 11th floor.  The doors close and I go up. Seems simple!

Well, today I get in the elevator and hit (11) and I do not go ANYWHERE!  So, for 5 minutes I am in there pushing buttons and nothing happens.  At this point I text Shotgun to tell him I am stuck in the elevator and am running late.  So, Jesse calls me to ”makes sure I am okay”……. kind of as he harrasses me and laughs at me for being stuck in the elevator.  I am totally freaking out and shaking and Jesse & Shotgun are LAUGHING!

Jesse asks me if I have called the security and I told him that I did as I was talking to Jesse & Shotgun they told me to hit DOOR OPEN!  What do you know….. The door opened and I was still on the first floor! Sooooo embarassing!

WOW!  I am very special :)  

As you all know by now that this weekend was Spring forward.  I am not a fan of losing the hour of sleep, but I love when it is light out longer.  I always feel more energetic and the best part is that we are one step closer to summer.  This weekend was great because I spent the majority of my time catching up on my sleep.

 I stayed up last night to watch Celebrity Apprentince and fell asleep about 10:05pm.  At about 10:20 I hear my boyfriend screaming at the dog.  I was irrate!  We thought she was having an accident in the bedroom.  So, we got up and started yelling at her until we heard the noise coming from the bathroom.  To my surprise there was water flooding out my vent in both of my bathrooms! 

 My first instinct was to call the 24-hour maintence line.  I called them about 5 times and then was put on hold for about 15 minutes.  I finally got through and this old guy anwsers and says he will be down SHORTLY!  So, I take the elevator up to the person who lives above us and knock on the door.  He tells me that he had a problem with his toliet.  I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!  Not only is that disgusting, but DUDE-TURN OFF YOUR WATER since it is flooding our apartment. 

Can I just remind you that I have to wake up at 3:30am! 

I came back down to my apartment and we began to start cleaning up all of the water.  It was about 11:30pm and there was still NO maintence man.  I crawled back into bed and started to fall asleep.  Just when I was out cold a knock was at the door.  It was 12:15am and the maintence man decided to show up.  He asked to come in and see what was going on and I just told him that we cleaned everything up but, they will need to come and assess the ceiling for mold and damage.  He then replied, “We will come look at it tomorrow!”  GEEE… THANKS MAINTENCE MAN!  I could have figured that out and thank you for coming down 2 hours later and telling me nothing helpful.

After he left our apartment he then when up the apartment above us and started making all kinds of noise.  It seriously sounded like chainsaws and flushing toliets.  Needless, to say not only did I lose the 1-hour of sleep from the time change.  I only slept for 1-hour last night.  Good way to start off the week!
