Watched all of Mad Men Thurs/Fri/Sat and loved every minute. As per the inevitable What Would Don Draper Do? meme, here’s ten, day-in-the-life style:
1. Wake up on office couch and change into fresh shirt from reserve stash in desk drawer.
2. Light a Lucky, pour a whiskey.
3. Grab lunch with Sterling and match him drink for drink.
4. Tell Peter Campbell no one’s going to like him if he keeps being such a sniveling little shit.
5. Pour a round of in-office drinks to celebrate your latest brilliant idea with the boys from creative.
6. Send Peggy home early and head down to the Village to sleep with beatnick mistress.
7. Inform mistress’ beatnik friends that their search for meaning is pointless - and they need a shave.
8. Return home and sit down to a nice pot roast with Betts and the kids.
9. Do 100 push-ups on the bedroom floor before bed. Abort and TCB if Betts is giving you that look.
10. Read a classic until Betts falls asleep, then retire to your home office and call her shrink for the lowdown.
No order is set, just your constitution.
