going away party for two co workers, one of which is moving to Germany, pretty cool.

hungover today. hate working hungover, but i won't be the only one, that's for sure.

holy fucking shit.

wasting a day by doing jack shit never felt so good.

feeling a little less sick, but not all the way better.
