Babysitting

It's not like I would do anything differently, were it to happen all over again.

But when you're at a bumping party on NYE, you've just managed to recover from a powerful illness in time to celebrate properly, and you're surrounded by a ton of great people.. having to take care of others kinda leaves you feeling a little cheated?!

Maybe it was my own fault for deciding to stop drinking, leading to me being one of the few sober people. Maybe if I was sloshed I wouldn't have had to spend 3/4 of my night QBing rescue ops for people who'd gone way overboard.
You feel really good about yourself, all self important and shit, for the first 10-15 minutes of dealing with drama.. but within the next hour you just want it to all be over.

Hey whatever, it's was just another day right? Like I said, I wouldn't do anything differently. And to my partner in responsibility Glen, all I gotta say buddy is we don't get paid enough for this shit :P

Cheers everyone, hope you had a happy NYE.
Dave

make sure you feed them spicy food next time... Drunk people never taste it going down, But 4-8 hours later long after the booze wears off, their ass-holes will surely burn!

you should make sure you give them your price list before hand.
charge $11 an hour with an additional charge of $6 per person.

this way you dont just get the feeling of helping someone out, you get the feeling of money too.

someone else "why didnt you? did you just leave her out there?"

someone else "fuuuuuuuuuck"
