i pretty much got told that today in suttle words lol. i like to go out and have a good time a few times a week and they did say that my private life is holding me back, everyone at work can tell when i got on it previous night. but it doesn't affect my work, i may be hanging but i still crack on..

what to do about it? i enjoy my self and really don't want to change for a few quid extra an hour..

how about you guys??
 
They mentioned it so maybe it is affecting your work life, you just don't know it yet. The most I ever went out during a work week was on Thursday nights. Did a little drinking, but nothing crazy. Didn't want it to become a habit.

I would be thankful they mentioned it to you, since it seems like you can move onward and upward if you cut out the partying a little and save it for the weekends. It seems like they genuinely care.
 
I'm in a Union so it barely matters.
 
Do you work Monday to fRiday? If so, party your ass off on weeknds and chill out, hit the gym, watch intenet p0rn durign the week, if you care about yoru career.

I save my benders for vegas/nyc and other long weeknd vacations.

to be fair upper management are great people, even the boss.. i had a meeting today as our place is expanding, and they want me to be a supervisor and run my own team.. ( 3 people) they said i got a lot of potential but don't know it..

I think your grammar is what's holding you back!

monday to friday, 7-5.. 7-4 on friday.

they want me to do some sat as i got a lot more responsibility..

i only go out on a wednesday, ( pool night) and fridays, not every.. staying in tonight.

i've calmed down a lot, but still enjoy a good night.
 
When I was younger I definitely let my personal life hold me back. Being in your early twenties, holding some entry level job in an industry you could take or leave, it's not some huge deal. Sometimes you just need a three day bender or a disastrous three year addiction to Percocet.

Eventually I settled down and have seen my income triple since I started making work first priority, so there's definitely something to be gained, but I'd say your youth is more valuable than the money you'll make spending it at a desk 60-80 hours a week.

If you're over 30, though, it's time to give up the party lifestyle and fit in your drinking as work allows. You'd have to be a little tired of the same old shit by that point anyway.

You gots to make the money.

Either lie, cheat, steal or get the fuck up and drink a cup of coffee and smile and be a slave.

Question: you smart enough to lie? You know how to be accountant? Are you political?

Most thieves are in government or politics and lazy to boot.

Life here on earth will not let you be honest and lazy.
There are no honest lazy men.

Just bums.

Life on earth is about servitude through force and law.
You want to be free?

Either you learn to lie, cheat, steal and use force and accept the consequences or you learn to eat worms.

BTW eating worms and sleeping under a tree and free,
they say gets you closer to Jesus.

Mind you they crucified Jesus.

Perhaps if your zealous enough or of a literal inclination you too can be remembered, perhaps even start a religion.

My advice, keep a journal.

At least once your dead your family can sell it to pay your bury costs.
 
You're going to get to a point, probably soon, where the thought of drinking more than once a week is the stuff of maniacs.

Whether you want to take that as "enjoy the present while it lasts" or "take the future more seriously because this won't last" is up to you. I don't think one is better than the other.
 
Going out when you don't have work the next is clearly not the problem unless you're posting pictures about it all over facebook, sending drunk texts, making drunk calls, or getting arrested. Enjoy your weekends.

The problem seems to be your pool nights. Maybe you should just limit yourself to 2 beers on those nights? Or maybe you need to find a new place to hang out if you don't think you can control yourself. If you are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, then that's the only event that is likely getting you into trouble. Control it or eliminate it so that you can have greater long-term success. Or is my logic somehow wrong?
 
I didn't think it used to affect me either until I layed off. A bender even over the weekend can have you nor thinking as sharp for a few days believe it or not

Pretty unvarnished, almost depressingly so. But it makes sense to me: We live in a Democracy of Predators.

Are you perchance, a Luciferian?
 
All the time...

My coworkers are always telling me:

Brampton_Boy, you need to lay off the Ovaltine and Fiber Supplements
Brampton_Boy, you need to stop watching Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman so late at night
Brampton_Boy, nobody gives a shit about the sweater you just nitted.

What can I say, I live hard and fast.
 
Sure, although it's more like I've never had a career due to my personality. Just a string of shitty jobs, that last until my rage gets the better of me. Tbf I have changed quite a bit in the last 5 years or so.
 
In my job, we're held to higher standards, so stuff in your personal life can get you suspended or fired. I have no clue what type of job you have, but IMO, you need to grow up and not go out and party three nights a week when you have to work the next day. Wait until the weekend and then go out when you have the next day off.
