First Day Out

Saw that there was a first day thread. As someone who is jaded beyond belief after ~18 months of this shit, I think the much better question is what did you former freaks do on your first day post-IB (assuming you had at least some downtime before the next gig). Think of it as the gift of hope for those of us coming up on the home stretch
