The Sambuca Tried To Kill Me

It was all going fine. I had a busy day at work. I scheduled the day well. Closed alot of patient charts. I was scheduled to leave at 3:30pm. Last night was Larry's work's Christmas party. There was only 12 of us in total, not a huge deal. It was just his "section". A few people brought their significant other's (him being one of them).

This is now the 3rd year in a row I have went. This is now the "thinnest" I have been. I don't know if it is that, because I did eat my dinner? But I am really convinced that...the Sambuca tried to kill me. Let me explain...

Dinner went fine. We were all having a good time. We were there from 4pm. In the course of the 4 hour night I had maybe 2 glasses of Moscato and a cup of coffee. At the end of the night this waiter brought us over the Sambuca as a "thank you" from the owner. It was a shot.

I was done.

All I know is this. That "thank you" really to me was FU..you guys are staying here way too long. Go home. Here is some death in a glass now get out. I don't know what it was. Was it the weight loss? I don't know. Because I thought I was going to die. I felt HORRIBLE. I just got so exhausted like I couldn't even hold my head up tired. And I just wanted to go immediately home. Yes, I had 2 glasses of wine but over the course of 4 hours and that was way earlier in the night and I had already eaten. And I was fine just before the shot! I had their same death tonic thank you last year and I don't remember it having the same effect. Larry said this year it was strong too. Hmm?

All I know is this. Luckily I have my life this morning. From this moment on I will never fall for another "thank you" shot from this place again. I will play it safe!

Anyway, off to work now. Have a good day everyone :) ~ And note to everyone...if you are ever in an Italian restaurant and the server gives you a complimentary shot to say "thank you" for your patronage and it smells or tastes like licorice do like Nancy Reagan's old slogan from the 80s!!!!
