We’ve all been there.  Maybe haven’t made the best decisions the night before a big presentation.  One beer turns into a slurry blur with a KFC drive-thru finale.

Well, as we like to say around our office, “If you go out drinkin with the boys, you have to get up and go to work with the men.”  When that screech owl of an alarm clock reminds you that maybe death isn’t so bad after all, you have to get moving, think positive thoughts, and focus on setting attainable goals.

First goal, get the Colonel’s secret tasty seasonings off your cheeks, eyelids, and out of your ears.  If you’ve snoozed and don’t have time to steam the booze out of your pores, follow this old soldier’s trick:

1. Grit your teeth and plunge your face into a sink full of ice water.  Suck it up because this will shrink your pores, force the blood to get moving, and give you a nice healthy flush.  (Not to mention wake your ass up)

2. Now about those red, puffy eyes that are the mirror to your temporarily dark soul.  Take the air out of the bags with a bit of your chosen moisturizer rubbed in.  If you really went big, we hear that Prearation H can do the trick as well but that’s something that usually goes in other places, so be sure you have a clean tube dedicated ONLY to this purpose locked away from anybody else using it.  The only thing worse than feeling like ass is smelling like it.

3. Proceed immediately to get greasy food.  MickyD’s and a big Coke to wash it down.  Psych yourself up for a caffeine fueled day and how good that couch is gonna feel.

Key Insight: The way to fight through a challenge like this is small attainable goals.  Putting socks on before your shoes certainly qualifies.
