So how many of y'all like me is still sobering up?

I'm still drinking.

Happy New Year!

haha... I had to work 11-7 tonight so I couldn't drink... Won't drink again until Saturday.

I worked 1400-0200 last night, and was supposed to do the same tonight. Got a late Xmas gift and got cut loose early. Popping a top on my first New Year's cold one now.

I haven't been able to catch a buzz yet this New Year's. Last night I went to a casino and didn't want to spend a fortune on booze. Today I drank a bunch of home-made wine but it wasn't hitting the spot. Now I moved on to some Lager instead.

After 23 years in the fire service one would think I would have been smart enough to find employment elsewhere besides the public safety field so that I could enjoy holidays, weekends, etc. that other folks get to enjoy...but I didn't, and I took another job in public safety after getting medically retired.

I hope to change that mistake here shortly.

That 12 hour shift over the New Years is actually smart. You don't have to deal w/ those pesky drunks that only drink 4-5 times a year.

Nah, I worked the worst part of it. We had a chase on my radio during Clemson's winning drive so I missed it. It was actually after midnight till I knew we had won.

Was you able to at least DVR it....

And man, the lame ass bar I was at didn't even have the game on at least one of the TV's... Talking about a drag.

Yeah, I got it on DVR.

Watched some of it last night on the ESPN replay. Going to watch the entire thing tomorrow sometime.

Still sucks as it isn't the same as watching live...btw, thanks for your service.

I missed tons of games back in the 80s and 90s while on active duty (no internet, dvr, ESPN3, etc...) seving at various bases. I had a subscription to the Sunday paper to read up on the games 4-10 days after the fact.

DVRs are lifesavers. I agree it isn't the same as watching the game live but it's still the next best thing.

I hope everybody had a good and safe holiday.
