The problem with working on the second shift is that you miss a lot of great parties and this night was going to be another one. My girlfriend Karen was throwing a quaint, intimate party for her sister who was in town to make arrangements for her wedding in the coming spring. Her sister Susie had moved to Colorado to attend school and had decided to stay there after graduation. Now she was in town for the weekend and Karen had invited several of their old high school girl friends over for a “Long Island Ice Tea” party.
I had one drink with the two of them but had to leave for work before the party began. I knew it was going to be a wild night and I hoped that I could get home before it was over, but when I approached our apartment it was depressingly quiet. When I walked through the front door my suspicions were confirmed. There were women passed out on every piece of available furniture. Two girls were sleeping on the fold out bed, there were one each in the three living room chairs, and upon entering the bedroom I discovered Karen and Susie side by side in our queen size bed.
