I am getting used to being awake early. So quiet and empty. For years, I would be rushing off to work hungover, probably half-shaved, trying not to vomit on the subway. I had to get of at the wrong stop to vomit in a trash can a few times. That's usually why I was late for work. I didn't realize that I was addicted to alcohol at the time. Was about 27 years old and had never heard about alcohol withdrawal before.
I am still shocked that my co-workers were also going out with me on anightly basis and none of us were fired. I am sure I must have made the office smell like a brewery!
I do remember not getting on the elevator with my boss out of fear she would smell alcohol on me. As far as I know, she didn't ever realize I was a terrible alcoholic. I did a good acting job apparently!
Massive heat wave here. Can't really go out for a walk more than a half hour without burning up. I am sure the Australians are laughing at me haha.
