TITLE: TIFU by not opening my text messages.
POST: So yesterday as I was leaving work my boss says to me "there's no work tomorrow" so I say "no worries let me know" (he's very prone to changing his mind).
So I went out last night, and went to the movies and got a bit drunk in gold lounge (I get extremely bad hangovers no matter how much I drink or what I do). 
So I'm having a merry old time, wind up at a mates house, have a few more fire waters and go to bed at 3am. So I wake up at just about bang on 8 and look at my phone because I downloaded Fallout Shelter and was keen to check on my vault. Pull down the top drawer of my phone and there's a message from Rob (bossman) at 8:35pm. I get a knot in my stomach. I click on it "8am start". I think fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. I like to think cheesy comedy movie music started playing at I was running through his house looking for all my shit, making a coffee and getting dressed into the work clothes I always keep in my overnight bag. Anyway so I fucking bailed all ready for work in very impressive time I shoot him a text "fuck man I'm so sorry I'll be there in 10". I get one back as I'm nearly at his house " what? I said there's no work today " so I was thinking "wtf was that message?"
It was from fucking Tuesday. So now I'm sitting in traffic, hungover to actual fuck. And my boss thinks I'm a fucking spoon.
TL;DR: 
got drunk, thought I had the day off today. Freaked out because a message from 2 days ago said 8am start.
