OK, I've got myself a slight dilemma at the moment. Last Thursday, I started working at a shop in Haven. Now, I'm really enjoying working there. I've been invited to go on Thursday night to go out bowling with them. Not just those I work with in the shop, but all those who work in that Haven site this year.
A chance to get to know the other staff, to chat, to laugh, to flirt. It's a one-off, there won't be any repeats of this. Apparently, this event only ever happens once a year. But as always, I've got an issue. On Friday, I've got to be up at 5am. I'm leaving the house at 6am to get to the train station in Bangor to catch a train to London. The bowling starts at 7.30pm and goes on for hours on end into the night.
I've got no idea what to do. Do I stay at home, not get to know the staff who work there, but get lots of sleep? Or do I go along, perhaps make new friends in the process, but spend most of Friday walking round the streets of London looking like a zombie?

If you don't go you'll probably end up regretting not going. Surely your up for feeling abit grumpy in the morning if it means you made some friends and had a good time.
Go for it
I also, agree with GoodFella's saying of you'll probably regret not going.
Go, crash for an hour or so when you get home, drink some coffee, snooze on the train, more coffee (or something stronger) then you'll be fine.
Stargalaxy the speed freak. :chin:
Actually that sounds like a dire plan, he's so ernest already, I dread to think what he'd be like after a few hours on base.
but i agree with everyne else.
go, you dont even have to stay all night if you dont want to. Go, enjoy yourself. grab a couple of hrs kip, sleep on the train, drink coffee and remember pro pluss is your friend
Got it in a nutshell.
Go. You will regret it if you don't. Stay up all night and get a bit of sleep on the train. You can sleep on Friday night in the hostel.
I get the impression you think too much about things
Go out, enjoy yourself, sleep on train.
Stop over analyzing everything.
i managed to go 41 hours with sleep over the last weekend before i went to bed, and that included a shift at work and going to the manc meet
plus the last sleep i had before that was only 4 hours
so go on, make friends, you will be all the better for it, couple of nights of good sleep after the weekend and you will be fine, everyone has to live life a little, i sometimes think stressing the body and then recovering is a good thing to do every now and again
And??? What ya want? A medal??
so why not enjoy himself
I've just realised thats something else i miss about mu old job with.. that place i worked
Ooooh, bedtime!
Anyway, just to let you know the event was terrible in the end. I tend to cope badly in large groups of people. I had a panic attack pretty soon after arriving. I didn't do any bowling as a result, neither did I eat anything. I left there pretty quickly. Rest assured I won't be going out with any of my work colleagues again anytime soon.
Seriously you need to lighten up. Just think "fuck it" who cares what these people think and just go along with the entirely selfish desire to have fun yourself. You're not there to appease or impress other people, just let go!
I'm normally pretty anti-drugs, but I reckon they might do you some good!
