Hansel and Gretel wandered into the woods with a plan of bread crumbs to bring them home but that was before they got sidetracked. This story went on to teach us not to fuck with witches homes no matter if they are made out of candy or not. Little Red Ridinghood taught us not to trust cross dressing wolves despite the wolves plan of eating her whole just as he had done with dear old grandma. In Rumplestiltskin, homeboy had a plan that he would get the woman's first born in exchange of giving her the ability to turn straw into gold.
James too had a plan. And it involved a hangover. As all such plans, it back fired.
He was supposed to go on an ocean fishing trip tomorrow that would require a 3am wake up time. After band practice was cancelled last night, he decided to get a little drunk so that he would suffer through today and thus be able to go to sleep by 8pm tonight.
Part way through his day today, he got bombarbed with projects that pay top dollar. These projects allow James to charge extra for the shortened deadline and rush status. These projects would require him to work a 17 hour day today to allow him to take tomorrow off.
But as luck should have it, the fishing trip was cancelled due to rough sailing weather so now he can work all day tomorrow and thus only commit to a 13 hour day today and a 10 hour day tomorrow.
My plans remain unchanged but I think this is a good example to remind all of you reading along to never plan for a hangover.
