Prompt 9

     I woke up at 7:00 AM...late as usual from a long night of partying.  I woke up with the worst hangover of my life, the world seemed so bright, as if the sun had somehow landed on the earth, making me unable to open my eyes, and my head was pulsating.  I had been too lazy to do laundry for the past month, which meant I had no clean clothes and I had been too lazy to go grocery shopping, so I had no food in my house.  I decided I would stop for a healthy breakfast at McDonalds on my way to work.  After picking up a sausage mcgriddle and a sweet tea, I headed to work.  Traffic was horrendous, it honestly probably would have been faster to walk to work than to drive the rest of the way.  Some jerk cut me off, and I flipped him the bird and threw the rest of my sweet tea onto his car as he drove by, as I nearly avoided a wreck with an oil truck.  I arrived at work in a happy mood, even though I was about an hour late, because I was able to get even with the jerk who cut me off and avoid death.  As I approached my desk there was a note to go see the boss.  I was estatic, I thought this would be when I would get the promotion that I had been waiting two years for.  I sprinted to my boss's office, and ran through the door with excitement, but then she told me she was busy and made me sit outside her office and told me that she would call me in in a bit.  Sitting outside her office, I couldn't hide my excitement, i had a grin from ear to ear.  After about two hours, she finally called me in her office, which was probably a good thing because any longer and my face may have turned into a permanent smile.  My boss greeted me and then handed me an envelope, and I thought to myself this was it, all my hard work was finally going to pay off.  I tore open the envelope and read what was enclosed.  While I was reading, she told me that my services were no longer needed and I was fired.  I couldn't believe what I had heard, I was the best worker in the entire office.  Suddenly I became furious, and started shouting expletives as I walked out her office and out of the building, gathering my belongings as I left.  I threw my things in my car, and began to drive home.  The drive home would have been quick because there was no traffic so I was going 120 miles per hour, but a cop suddenly pulled up behind me and put on his lights.  For some reason I thought it was a good idea to run from the cops, just like I done in the numerous video games I have played, I mean I was really good at video games.  But, I found out that evading the police was a lot harder to do in real life than in a video game, and the cops caught me within about a minute.  It wasn't a long chase, but you should have seen me out there, I looked like a NASCAR driver. I was arrested for going 50 miles per hour over the speed limit, and resisting arrest.  I am now in jail and unemployed.  But, the one good thing that happened was that I made it on television, on the show Worlds Dumbest Criminals, I guess my driving skills weren't that good after all.
