    IT and booze

    I had a boozy lunch with an HR director and she described the 'Monday Club', where a bunch of the senior managers used to get so pissed at the weekend they never could make it in on a Monday morning...

    Also worked for a Dev Manager who was ex army - complete p*ss head... we used to all have to keep him company on friday afternoons...

    Oxford University Press used to serve wine in the staff canteen...

    The IT director used to get plastered every friday lunchtime and his secretaries used to avoid him as he acted like a randy old goat...

    My first real job was at a company that held all meetings in the pub. They also had a company policy of holding all second interviews in the pub, and of requiring all staff to turn up the next day after one of the (frequent) company piss-ups. It didn't matter how late you turned up (even 5 PM was OK) but you had to turn up.

    They went bust after a couple of years.

    Best one I had was out with three contractors for a quick lunch and returned home at 3.00 am the next morning. It took me three hours to find my car the day after.

    The good old days

If the weather was good and the pints were flowing we would often phone up the client saying we were calling it a day, drink more beer and play pool into the evening, followed by a curry and then book into the local hotel leaving our motors at the clients.

    Them were the good ol' days.
