So my company has this thing where we have happy hours every 1st Friday and 3rd Thursday and somebody volunteers to be in charge of the happy hours and come up with a theme, bring all the food, alcohol, etc.  Well, my boss volunteered to host this week’s happy hour.  I already knew this would mean I would wind up doing all the work, despite the fact that I have a show and will not even be able to attend the happy hour.  But I had no idea HOW much work it would wind up being.  My boss wound up turning this into my company’s birthday party and invited over 100 people.  He’s having it catered, but I have to get the alcohol.  This is the fucking list he sent me this morning:

4 bottles tequila
2 bottles triple sec
2 bottles whiskey
2 bottles gin
2 bottles vodka
4 cases beer
2 cases wine (1 red, 1 white)
6 liters margarita mix (also margarita salt, we can provide limes)
4 liters Coke
100 personal-sized bottles of bottled water
8 liters tonic water
1 gallon orange juice
2 liters ginger ale

I would honestly quit right now if I did not have bills to pay.  I keep remembering, “Julie, you can’t quit, you have bills to pay.”  I want to stage a “sick-out” and not even come to work tomorrow.  I certainly plan to leave before the “happy hour” (happy for who, I wonder?), gets started.  I want to know exactly what he is doing as the “host”.  I was supposed to host a happy hour in August, but forget it.  I’ve already hosted two:  my company’s lake day and this happy hour.  I don’t care if I am the “assistant”, I should not be expected to get this much stuff on my own.  It’s impossible!  I doubt I can even fit it in my car or afford to put it on my credit card.  Argh!
