the pharma chronicles part I

“My ex called CPS on me and that’s what happens when you date someone vindictive like that”.

I am sitting down, enjoying my meal, and chatting away with others about Poland, homelessness, culture, faith, and BOOM out of nowhere, the person next to me starts to unravel more and more as the night wears on. It immediately broke my attention and I found myself eavesdropping at what was going on at the other end of the table. She is spilling all sorts of tea at this point and gives zero fucks. She doesn’t give a shit who is listening…and I’m here for it.

The woman has become completely unhinged and is about to get another glass of wine. I tend not to drink at these dinners because I have anemia and so I’m already lethargic AF. I don’t need a depressant, no…no. I need caffeine and my drink of choice will always be coffee. Copious amounts of it. Plus, drinking won’t help me remember these moments. IJBOL.

Honestly, I love going to these pharma dinners. Not only do I get to be educated and try out new venues, but it also gives me an opportunity to network….and people-watch. People are getting lit and when that happens, they become more uninhibited and they say some fucked up shit. I cannot make up half the nonsense that comes out of their mouths. It can be the most deranged shit show I’ve ever seen.

I recall while back, a man who was seated near me was wearing sunglasses in the restaurant at night. He was cut off from the wait staff from drinking more alcohol so at one point, he started grabbing bottles of wine and people’s unfinished wine (glasses) from the tables and going at it. He had no shame to his name. Bruh.

Anyway, going back to the CPS woman, she was getting louder and bragged about how she was making more money than her colleagues and friends. She didn’t say how much she made, at least I didn’t hear it but earlier in the night, she did blurt out that she had 100k that she wanted to invest in the restaurant business. Now, I’m not sure how her night ended since I left earlier than others but she made the night even more memorable.

    I tend not to drink @ work functions. If I do it’s ONE cocktail. I’ve seen coworkers get FUCKED UP though cuz they wanna get stupid on the company’s dime. And then that’s when the stupidity and career ending moves happen.
