    When did desk booze go out of style? Or was that ever a thing? I remember old TV shows where the boss would always have a small bar in their desk drawer. I want to go to there.

      Ex chef had fucking absinthe in his drawer when I cleaned it out. He was not trying to be there lmao

        Oh wow. My only restaurant experience is working in a diner right out of high school. This one guy, who was the lead cook, would huff paint in his car before coming in and on breaks. I dunno where he was trying to be, but it wasn’t anywhere on this plane of existence. 😆

        The globe bars actually aren’t all that expensive. My husband joked about wanting one for the den so I looked them up on Amazon. They were only like $150 or so. Not sure if they’re as good quality as was pictured, but the reviews on it was pretty positive.

          Yeah, but I feel you need to build a room around it to really get the full impact. Lots of expansive wood, bookcasea with movable ladders, comfy chairs, big windows overlooking a lake or mountain or something

      It is still a thing. Though ours was always in drawer under an out-of-the-way cubicle.

        Maybe I’m just not cool enough to know where the stash is in my office 😂 😞

        Right? I feel like my meeting presentations would go a lot better if the audience was at least a little tipsy.

      Software dev company, we always had booze of various sorts in the fridge. Nice snacks too. Grabbing a couple or three beers at noon would be frowned on however.
