hurricanesteve | MEMORY FROM 1991

first day on the job

LOCATION: Friend's Apartment , Houston

YEAR: 1991

TAGS: passing out, first job, drinking

PUBLISHED: March 25, 2008

What makes us think we're invincible at 19? Full on. Bulletproof, handsome, seven feet tall and funny. Summer. Summer internship. A big deal. A summer at Shell's refinery as an engineering intern. Just finished a weeklong training with the other interns. What a fantastic idea. Let's have a party to celebrate finishing training and start real work THE NEXT DAY. I'm that guy. The one who drank WAY too much. Everyone else showed maturity. Moderation. Not me. Nope, I'm hammered. Fell asleep Passed out on a couch in an apartment 15 miles from my apartment at 11pm listening to Let Love Rule. Sing me to sleep, Lenny. Channel that 70's vibe, Lenny. You and me are gods, Lenny.

Then it gets scary. I have to be at the refinery at 6:30 in the morning. I know this. The guys in the apartment I'm staying at know this. I wake up to the sound of my alarm at 6am. My alarm. Not theirs. What? I'm in my bed. I feel bad awful. The full brunt of hell's fury is bearing down on my head and stomach. To this day, I have no idea how I got home. Well, I know, but I don't know. Stupid, stupid. Got dressed. Went to work. Worked in a pale shade of green skin. Made a terrible first impression on my new boss. Why? I was invincible the night before, man, invincible.
