You know what's rough? Going out on Thursdays. It seems like such a good idea at the time. You get dressed up and think it's one last hurrah before the week is over, what harm could it do? And then Friday morning slams into your face and you're all OMG get out of my face, I want my mommy.

Momma's not gonna help that ridiculous hangover you've got. And Momma sure as hell won't help you get through your day at work following a mid-week evening of debaucheries.

But, knowing that in just 8 hours you'll be free from the shackles of responsibility? That should help you tons.

Go do work, Miami. Then relax.
