my coworkers tell me that when i get to work tomorrow, i'm going to be chastised for having a beer at lunch last week. one of my friends/peers was celebrating his birthday, and i was a nervous wreck awaiting the boston game to win $25k, and i am going to get a lecture about having A BEER at lunch because one of the people that decided not to have a beer told our manager. i'd love to hear from my folks in europe, canada, and other parts of the developed world, because i feel like this would be acceptable behavior pretty much anywhere else. sorry to get off-topic from the game tonight. trolling the threads and trying to take my mind off things for a bit before tip off.
