I'm sorry, I had a traumatic run in with a humorless, cranky, self-aggrandizing, petty little woman the other day and now I'm skittish. Let's go have a few drinks and some vicodins, my treat

Seriously about the narcotics though. Vicodin helps SO much. I tried all the "be hydrated" and "don't drink caffeine" stuff and yeah,
whatever. I can sit through two hours max with or without narcotics, but it's a heck of a lot more pleasant with. I admit, when I take 8 it's more for recreation than for pain relief, but 3 or 4 goes a LONG way.
