On Maybe This Explains Your Mood
@theheckle *You may have just put down your tabby because $10000 is a lot of money to spend on a cat that may not get better.

On What The Old-Fashioned Tells Us About Ourselves
@boyofdestiny Many bars will have the Lairds or the Clear Creek apple brandy (or even if a calvados, if you don't mind drier and are feeling spendy). Ask your bartender for a bit of maple or honey syrup and a dash or two of a highly aromatic bitter and maybe a dash of allspice dram too if the bar has it.

It's better if you look in the window, wonder if the damage to your complexion and svelteness of form can be directly traced to your professional level of alcohol consumption or just the aging process, get off the train, go to work, and have a surprise visit from your Scotch distributor, thereby restarting the cycle. I guess I'm saying you need more pre-work whiskey because it makes me feel better. So.

On Have You Started Running Out The Clock Yet?
@Slackferno This is the best part about working at a bar. Those Christmas Eve customers are just so grateful that I'm not their families and that I give them booze. (Holidays are more manageable with a level 2 hangover for most people, right?)
