What Are You Drinking

Coffee now, but soon a margarita. Company xmas lunch at noon. Then I'm going home for a nice, long weekend.

Margarita's with the company?
Very nice!

Tonight's going to be a Jameson on the rocks for me

Our bosses are super laid back. Sometimes they will announce an early day on a Friday, then we go eat wings and drink beer on their dime.

Same here, I expect the boss will send people home early today. Except me, I have to work late. But mostly because I'm the boss that will send everyone else home.

I assume basically everyone is heading into a four day, or longer, holiday weekend? I know NTG is closing in a few hours (except management who have a lot of non-tech work to do this afternoon) and won't reopen till Wednesday.

Eww, what a pain, having a half day between a weekend and a major holiday.

Yes we had the same issue here but they nicely decided to close for the day.

Homemade Irish cream recipe (this is a double batch):

It's more of a formula...about 1C heavy cream, 2ish C dark booze (doesn't matter what really, you can't taste specifics,) 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, some instant coffee powder (to taste, I use maybe 1/4 c +) and other flavorings (grenadine, chocolate syrup...creme de menthe or amaretto could be nice...)
Mix the crap out of it (I use the immersion blender) and it won't separate, but shake occasionally. This makes about 4/5 of a handle.

I've had this version many times, it's delicious.

While we don’t have it as part of the company policy, they have at least closed the Friday after thanksgiving for the past 5 years.

I can see why they don’t close these days... most medical offices are just slammed from nov 1 to dec 31 as people are trying to squeeze every bit from their yearly insurance plan.

I'm 1 of 3 who get to be on call Christmas Eve. We don't expect anything other than a password change, maybe. No going into an office.

@RojoLoco I have a buddy that loves those sweet stouts. I like a milder stout.
