Normal time. You should be feeling better by lunch.

To be fair, it's happens maybe every few months. I normally go home for a kpi and then come back.

I think you've been working too hard! BI on the brain

I can't help, I've never been in this situation

I notice the words "I normally" as though this is an almost daily occurrence in your life

Normal time. You should be feeling better by lunch. You might find you get a bit sleepy about 2:30-4 in the afternoon, this can be dealt with via the aforementioned nap in the loo. Bogrolls make excellent pillows.

I find a couple of Nurofen works well in these circumstances.

Whiskey is a ****er isn't it.

WHS, plus plenty of coffee helps me

The question is, what time is acceptable to leave the office but bill for a full day without the locals commenting too much?

I normally slope off for 2 hours or so during the lunch period. ie. 12 -2. Nobody suspects your off mooching somewhere. I then make a return push some papers around before pissing off around 3

Drink coffee and invoice on

That's what I'm doing after pushing out the boat a bit yesterday evening.

as an added point, this is Sweden and so drinking stupid amounts of alcohol mid week is par for course and therefore no client brownie points would be lost if asked why I look so sh!t and answer honestly, however, it wouldn't be the done thing to wimp off early just because "i had a few beers last night".

Their idea of a good night out is to get on the 20 min ferry crossing over to Denmark and stay on it all evening getting wasted because the drinks there are far cheaper than most bars in either country, plus you get a moving view. Apparently the trick is to ensure you get off at the right stop at the end otherwise you might find yourself in the wrong country.
