vodka colored clarity

Boss? Crazy.

Job? Insane.

The desire to quit? Overwhelming.

Vodka? Ahhh, the clarity.

The coworker and I celebrated the soft launch of our latest website by spending three hours at the bar. There were martinis, vodka on the rocks and lemon drop shots—oh, and we did have some nachos… just to balance it out. Mind you, the tab only came to around $20… the waiter adores the coworker, and therefore inordinately undercharged us.

It was a long day, to say the least. And honestly, I think what got us through it was a) the wonderful, fabulous, on-the-spot IT department, and b) the knowledge that we would be drinking on the boss’ tab. Which we did. Quite well.

All in all, the day was quite insane. However, we finally (both of us) came out and told the second-in-charge (kinda) that we were thinking of leaving. I think she was a little surprised, but not much… she promised to make it better and handle the Boss. Apparently he is driving them insane as well, and they are hoping to get him out to see clients more often—lots of traveling for him is always, always better for us.

Still, we are polishing the resumes and eyeing the job market—after all, it never hurts to know all your options.
