Leave the house at 2:45 am.....get home at maybe 5 or 6 if I am lucky. If i can get a couple pulls from the tap i feel that i have accomplished something.

Holy crap balls! Do you own a restaraunt or something? Pull that tap my friend! :mug:
 
Wake up at 4am, run 3.5 miles, shower, breakfast... all quiet enough not to wake the wife and kids... leave at 5:30am, drive 1.5 hours through cow fart air to a prison, deal with guys who have done bad things + tons of paperwork for 10 hours, drive another 1.5 hours home, arrive home at 6:30pm to an amazing (and tired) family... all the while knowing I have to do it all over again in less than 10 hours. Yeah...

No wonder you brew and drink! Thanks for what you do!

I commute a hour in the am.....and maybe a hour and a half in the pm. The funny thing is i deliver to restaurants and such for a big food service company. You get done when you get done.

got so stressed out today i threw my mouse right into my monitor. not sure if either broke; i came home

I almost did that the other day when I realized that a network share doesn't have a recycle bin at work...my rage was in full swing that day...

That was a beer day
 
Condescending medical supply guy. He came out to check one of my clients' O2 equipment. He felt the need to try to explain everything to me three times. I just wanted to tell him "I'm not one of your elderly customers. I'm not some yokel who cant tell his head from his rectum because they both currently occupy the same general space. I'm probably much smarter than you. Save us both some time and explain it once."
 
Because one of my customers said "The compact flash was crushed and run through a grinder."
 
Give us this day our liquid bread for we have brewed and patiently fermented. Then we bottled with loving care and whist we waited in the slowness of time for carbonation we read and posted. As our beer approached it's time of glory we planned the future use of our fermenter. When the time came for the work our hands to be glorified we offered it in praise as a sacrifice to toils of our lives that take us from our brew and our brewing.

Let us all offer a mug to every creator of beer:

Amen to that!
 
Today requires something much stronger than beer! But a beer to follow of course.
 
Just got a call from the Design team. I get to help download and translate files and print out stuff for the sales guy to quote on.

And there is 45 minutes left in my usual work day...

This would have been nice to get around noon.
 
My excuse today is that after work I get to set up my "new to me" dual tap kegerator. For over two years I have suffered through having only one keg, and having to buy something my wife wanted. Now everything is changing. I will have one tap that will serve what the normal people like...I don't really care what it is but it is usually cheaper anyway and the other one can be something I like.

I know I should be the boss of my own house but I've been married to her for 25 years and she has been training me all along without even knowing it!

Anyway, I'll definately drink a few of something this evening.
 
My excuse tonight is the fact that it's "Turkey Taco Night"! Everyone knows that you gotta have a Fuggles IPA with turkey tacos!! :ban:
 
Nobody should ever NEED an excuse to drink a beer. In fact, history has proven beer to be a primary excuse for everything else.

Why was the fertile crescent settled and grain domesticated? BEER!
Why did the slaves of Egypt build the pyramids? THEY WERE PAID IN BEER!
Why did the Pilgrims land on Plymouth rock? THEY RAN OUT OF BEER!
 
Yes, a beer needs no excuse and never apologizes. I might crack a Tannen Bomb tonight.

If I needed an excuse, I'd say, "It's because my new product has been on sale for five days without a bite."

If I felt I needed an excuse to drink it would be that I deal with the public at work

+1. You never realize how dumb the general public is until you have to deal with them at work.
 
Because I just got home is my excuse normally during the week. Right now it's because I'm about to play softball.
