Originally posted by hyperD View PostIndeed! Excellent effort!
I can remember being so drunk and stoned within weeks of a contract in the Netherlands that I had to crawl on my hands and knees up the lobby stairs in front of the not-very-amused hotel staff just to get to my hotel room. Then making the pitiful excuse phonecall to the client at lunchtime.
Another memorable one was playing Resident Evil with some friends (with beers) until 05:00am and then convincing myself a quick one hour nap then work would be fine. Again, after awakening about 14:00, the afternoon phonecall to the client was not very convincing.Comment
