Memory flashbacks...

Long story short...I work in IT, reseting passwords, updating software/hardware etc...Alot of my job is maintaining printers/changing toner too.

Got a call today, 2 color toner cartridges were out...I had them in stock and quickly ran over and swapped them out. Quick, Clean, EASY.

Funny...But my mind reminded me that i failed this SAME task 1.5 or 2 years ago (not definite on the day, but besides the point...)

That day the task didn't go well...I was SEVERELY hung over from the night before...And couldn't change them...(couldn't get the hinges/etc to line up correctly....And managed to damage a part of the printer.)

I had to call in a tech to repair it...Yeah...Shameful memory to be sure.

Today i was able to do it no issues.

Thank you SR, for helping me to quit drinking. I mean that.

Enjoy your day my friends.

Way to go Findingtheway

Doing pretty much anything without a hangover is better than doing a thing with one

We sober about the same length of time (30th Dec in my case)

Sometimes we don't realize how bad things are until it gets better. Looking back it's kind of surprising I didn't die years ago!
