King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

I have to get up at five in the morning tomorrow for a six o'clock call time for a short film shoot. Sunday too. Probably next weekend as well. Maybe the week after? And that'd be mostly okay if I wasn't getting out of work early today so that everyone in the office has time to prep for our annual holiday party tonight. Yeah, there'll be an open bar. Of course there will. Why wouldn't there be? How else would be the fates be able to stamp their "cruel factor" on the evening if I weren't forced to maintain sobriety at an open bar on a Friday night with a bunch of friends? Lovely. If I'm going to be able to function at all tomorrow, I'll need to be cashed out by 12:30a.m. at the latest. Lame.
