You don’t have to tell me that things are bad out there. Everyone knows that things are bad out there. Everyone is scared of losing their jobs or having the company they work for go belly up or having the fucking bank throw them out on the street. This is not even counting the stress that you feel when the grocery bill goes up and what you get keeps going down. Topple on that all the other expenses that make life possible and hell if you didn’t have a stress relief most of us would probably go nuts.
Now for I’d say 60% of us we do a little activity called DRINKING to relive stress. But now the morality police want to take that away from us and it can cost you your job to! Now I’m NOT talking about people that drink on the job, that’s just plainly stupid and they should be fired for that. I’m talking about when the working day’s over you’ve clocked out gone home changed and get with friends for a night on the town.
So you go out to your favorite bar, watering hole, club or night spot. And you have some drinks laughs and a good time. One of your friends is snapping photos and gets one or two of you haveing some drinks or dancing with someone a little more provocatively then what they showed on the Lawrence Welk show. Your friend inadvertently posts the photos to myspace or the big one facebook. The next morning you wake up you don’t have a hangover and your ready to go for the day. When you get to work you’re called into your bosses office where he tells you you’ve been fired and you notice on the screen is your facebook page!
This scenario is happening more and more across the country and espically for applicants. First off why is it any one’s business what you do when you’re off the clock. Second why are bosses so concerned with the activities of their employees when they’re off the clock! ESPCACIALLY if what they did the night before has no effect on their JOB PREFORMANCE! So what now I’m supposed to be a professional 24/7 and have no fun. Never let my hair down so that in twenty years I have a heart attack because of unreleased stress, just because someone on the morality police busted me living a little.
Now to the people that say “You don’t need achool to relive stress” or “There are better ways of getting in a good mood than booze” I say your right you don’t need achool to relieve stress and there’s probably a few better ways. But I’ll be goddamned if a ice cold beer or rum and coke dosen’t knock the day’s edge off quicker than anything I know. Plus on that note what I do away from work and in my own PRIVATE LIFE! is really no one else’s concern but mine now isn’t it! Of course these people have a very funny concept of privacy
So here’s what I want people to do I want them to write in and tell their congressman to get a law passed that says when people are off the clock they have the right to do what they want with their time OFF!!! Or do what I do and get people together to go out for drinks guess what your boss will probably be a drinking man himself!
Anyway that’s all i have to say
