Killing time : I have just spent the last 30 minutes trying to find the origin's for this phrase... Just Killing Time.. found a moment of wealth other than the origin. It's a video game, a books, and there is even a song (Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society Just Killing Time)

I'm sitting here watching people suffer with headaches and hang-overs... therefore killing time to watch the clock hit the 6pm. I have been at work for since 8am yesterday.. that's about 30+ hours now. I'm luckily enough not suffering the insanity of a hang-over.. why I don't know. I was drinking white wine all night and I do believe I was intoxicated, but not inebriated. It was good to put faces to names and to talk. The party ended around midnight and our party continued until about 3am... Peter got 4 stars as he cleaned up the event in his y-fronts. Erin was taken to a crashpoint on my shoulder as she became unconciously drunk.

The 'hair of the dog' is part of a longer expression - 'the hair of the dog that bit you'. This goes back to the old belief that the hair of a dog that bites someone could be used as an antidote against the bad effects of the bite. By extension, another drink or two after a drinking binge would be the cure for a hangover. 12:40pm and we possibly about to hit up more substance abuse....
