Good Morning!
This morning, after a night of crazy dreams (on a Sunday night, I know, right?!), I'm here to tell you a couple of things I learned in my slumber...
1) Serving others isn't a "sometimes" thing... It's just a thing some do.
2) All of the things really are waiting for you, play one more round and see what happens.... and then, repeat!
Welcome to a new day. Let's get into it.
PS - SHOUTOUT TEXAS TECH FANS OMG RIGHT??! !
Did you come into work with a hangover this morning?You are definitely not alone. A new survey found that 75% of employees admitted to dragging themselves to work after a night of heavy drinking. The survey also found that more men (80%) come to work hungover than women (70%). By generation, more Millennials come to work hungover (78%). They are followed by Baby Boomers at 71% and Gen Xers at 70%.
And how well do these workers function with a hangover? Not very. 46% of those who came to work hungover only pretended to do anything, 45% spent a lot of time in the bathroom, 35% took a really long lunch, 33% took a bunch of breaks, and 20% took a nap.
So what industries have the most hungover workers? We’re looking at you, lawyers and construction workers.
Here are the Top 5 industries with the most hungover workers:
- Legal – 94%
- Construction – 86%
- Transportation and Warehousing – 83%

NINTENDO IS RE-RELEASINGPUNCH-OUT… WITHOUT MIKE TYSON
Back in 1987, boxer Mike Tyson was at the peak of his powers and Nintendo released one of the most famous old-school video games of all time:Punch-Out.
To win the game, you had to knock out Tyson in the last fight. No small feat.
Well now, Nintendo is planning to re-release the game on the Switch game system later this month. Except… Mike Tyson won’t be in the game. He was replaced by a character named “Mr. Dream.”
Tyson is not happy about being replaced. He went so far as tocall out Nintendo on Twitter. Even though he’s not at the peak of his powers anymore, it’s probably still not a good idea to make the champ angry. (Polygon)
DRUNK GUY WINS BIG ON PARLAY BET … HE DOESN’T REMEMBER PLACING
Derek Bergee left his home in Minnesota to enjoy some fun times in Las Vegas.
He certainly did that – and walked away with $26,000 after putting $100 on a four-leg parlay that hit in a big way.
But what made Derek’s parlay even more special is that he doesn’t remember making the bet. He was drinking a bit and walked into Planet Hollywood at 3:30 in the morning. Sure enough. He placed the bets on a bunch of Minnesota teams and won big.
Unfortunately, Derek slept through all the games while recovering in his hotel room. But, he woke up to learn he had a winning ticket. (Action Network)
SAN DIEGO IS GETTING A MUSEUM OF BEER
San Diego, California, calls itself “America’s Happiest City.” It’s not a stretch, either. The weather’s always perfect. It’s easy to be happy there.
And now, there’s another reason to be happy, because there will be a Museum of Beer opening up next year.
The goal of the museum’s founders is to create a jumping-off place where tourists can begin their personal craft beer journey.
The Museum of Beer will feature dozens of high-tech, hands-on exhibits all about beer, the drink’s history and the brewing process through the years.
And yes … There will be tasting experiences. (Travel + Leisure)
