So I had a customer appointment at 9am this morning, at a multi-tenant office high rise. I’m getting signed in at the front desk, when I notice a guy step up to my right. Actually, I smelled him first. Booze. He says, “excuse me. Would you happen to have a mint or gum?” “Sorry, no” I reply. I get a look at him. Late 50’s, I guess. Nice slacks, shoes, dress shirt, cufflinks, looks like he slept in them. I think “dude had a rough night, and is now gonna try to wing it with a customer. Ain’t gonna work. Had I kept drinking, that could’a been me.”
Yep, sober is better.
