Well, yes - we just wrapped up a huge project at work (an intense review of
141 IVR systems that went live in the last 24 months at work), had a Happy
Hour that lasted a few hours too long, and now I need to do laundry to
prepare for my vacation to Florida tomorrow.

The Fscking plane leaves at 8:00am, we need to be there 2 hours early, and
then it takes about an hour to get to the airport - thats right...

5:00 am... Why sleep? ;^)
