beer makes everything better

Yesterday afternoon my office left work early to celebrate a colleague's promotion. So, since I didn't want to drive to leave work early, and since I couldn't celebrate with them and still make the van (they were celebrating nowhere near my office), I decided to grab a drink closer to work and then catch the van. When I was telling my fellow vanpoolers this, Fred offered to join me, for as he said, "no one should have to drink alone, and I'll take any excuse to leave early on a Friday."

So, on Friday night Fred and I wandered over to the Fish Tale Brew Pub to enjoy a few pints and dish on our fellow vanpoolers. You know, I have to say it was nice to hear someone make some of the same observations and complaints.

Also, it turns out the van ride is SOOOOO much better with beer. It turns out that the annoyance from other riders, the traffic, and the insane air conditioning level just rolls right off of me after only one. I think I've found someone a new Subway/Metro/bus advertising campaign: public transportation, better with beer.
