I'm kidding . . . but I'm not. Tonight marks the third consecutive night that I've been out drinking with my project team. Last night was a rough one, but Tuesday night and tonight, not so bad.
Last night we had a project social event. I left at 11:30 pm before . . . before the singing started. If you know me, which many of you do, you know that I love to be everywhere and experience everything. I have a little regret about missing the singing, especially because I do love a good karaoke night (even if it's a capella).
However, I like to think that I've learned a few lessons while I'm here. The first of which is to not try to out-drink anybody. Have a few drinks, have a good time, quit while you're ahead and go to bed. I quit last night while I was ahead.
The second lesson is beware of free beer. I'm usually too cheap to get drunk. I mean, come on, a beer over here cost 5 Euro ($6.50 US). You buy a round or two and you're busted for the night. However, when the beer is free - as it was at last night's social event - I need to be careful. As cheap as I am, I love a free beer (or two, three, four, five).
So, even though, I have been enjoying the social life in Ireland, I have been much more responsible in my consumption habits. In fact, I was even the first into the office the next day.
