I got a call from Joe right before it was time for me to leave work, yesterday. We had agreed to not drink during the week at least, and he had not only drank but drank the last of my beer too.
The last thing I told Joe before I left for work that morning was please move the beer to the basement or elsewhere where it was warm. I knew if there was cold beer in the fridge, I'd drink it.
What I didn't expect was him to drink both his and my leftover beer, not get any, then call me at work to say if I wanted beer I'd have to stop and get some.
For those who don't know, Joe quit his job, and we had a discussion about if he's not working don't drink.
I know, why did I have beer in the house then. Well we did drink Sunday, but far less than usual, which was why there was leftover. Usually we drink until it's gone, no matter how many and there was 12 left between us.
Joe did nothing yesterday, did no repairing the kitchen, did no errands as we had discussed, did make dinner. And the thing that really pisses me off, WHAT IF A PERSPECTIVE EMPLOYER HAD CALLED? Joe was noticeably drunk when he called. Do you think an employer would give an interview much less hire someone when they call during the day and that person is DRUNK?!!!!!!
I was pissed and reacted very childishly by getting my beer. Joe, with my permission, drank half of the new 12 pack. So I still drank about 1/2 of what I usually do. I told him not to buy beer tonite.......we will see.
I know I enable him, he even made some comment about how after a few beers I slur noticeably.......wrong thing to say. "Yes Joe, but I have a job."
Thanx for letting me vent. I'm not angry any longer but yesterday I sure was.
