-----------------------------------------
I slowly regained consciousness. I got out bed with a killer headache. You know what? Fuck this. I'm going back to bed. I got into the bed again and my phone rang. I grabbed it and pressed answer.
"John, are you there?"
I didn't know if i could still talk. But i gave it a try anyway. But my words came out as a slur.
"Uh..waa? I-I-I need sleep!", i yelled into the phone.
"Are you drunk again John! Get the fuck out of bed right now! Boss is looking for you at work!"
I groaned. "Noo! I no wanna go tuuu...wurk!"
He yelled at me again. "Get the fuck out of bed! We need you in the office right now!", then he hung up.
I grabbed my pillow and slammed it on the wall. God i need an aspirin.
I stood up slowly, clinging to the bed. I grabbed the half full bottle of water on my bedside table and took out an aspirin.
Now i was feeling nauseous and dizzy. I popped 2 pills into my mouth and gulped down the water.
I looked over at the clock and it was 1:36 pm. I should've been at work about 6 hours ago. I walked slowly into the bathroom and changed my clothes. I didn't feel like taking a shower or brushing my teeth. I grabbed a blue dress shirt from my dresser and put it on. I did half of the buttons because i was too lazy. I grabbed black pants and put it on. I didn't bother with a belt. I felt like sagging.
I grabbed my keys and briefcase and ran out the door to my car. I was feeling a little bit better now.
I started the car and drove to work. I almost drove into another car. I finally made it into the 27 story building. I pressed 22 on the elevator. It was a fast ride and before i knew it the elevator stopped.
I stepped out of the elevator and all eyes were on me. Some people looked surprised, others looks of disgust. I guess i looked just as bad as i felt.
I walked to the bosses' door, not caring that people were holding their noses as i walked by.
I didn't bother knocking so i grabbed the doorknob and shoved it open. The boss, Mr.Myers, looked at me shockingly.
"John! You look terrible! Where have you been? And what is that awful smell?"
"Sorry boss. I forgot to shower this morning".
"Anyway. Do you have the file i told you to work on?"
I looked through my briefcase and pulled out a packet. I handed it to him. He looked through it.
"Where's the rest?", he asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"Where is the 12 page file you were working on!"
Oh shit! I only did 4 pages of that crap! "I only did 4 pages".
"What! 4 pages! I gave you a whole 4 weeks to work on that file! That file was due today!"
Now i feel like shit!
"I'm sorr-", i began to say, but he cut me off.
"So this tells me that you haven't done one damn thing for the past 4 weeks!"
