Long story, but youll like it....
The last time i woke up late with catastrophic results: A few years back working for a Manchester graphics agency, I went out on the lash the night before a HUGE client (the agencies biggest client) was due to come in to amend some artwork before getting this huge, rush job off to print.....
Anyway, i woke up about an hour late, got dressed and got my sister to give me a lift to the bus stop, it was too early for a hangover but it was coming on fast.....
We were in the car when i wound the window down and spewed out of it all down the side of my sis's shinny white car (sha made me wipe it off when i got out of the car).
So then I get to the bus (its an hour bus ride to manc from my house, and i was feeling worse by the minute), anyway, the sickness comes and goes and verytime it does i get off the bus, spew, and get another bus to continue the journey.... the journey ends up taking around 2 hours (so already im three hours late!!!!)
When i arrive in work the client is there, looking all bright eyed and smart (i look and smell REAL bad!), so i sit down at my comp, and realise i cant focus, no shit, i really couldnt fucking see the machine! So i get a co worker to help me out while i go to the cafe for a cup o'tea to make me feel better....
I neck the tea, but then....... shit, feel sick again, so i run to the toilet, theres only one cubicle and its full and the sick is rushing through me bursting to get out... i put my hand over my mouth, but i cant stop it, the hot tea comes gushing out all over the bathroom, my hand and my sweater.... now i really stink!!!!
I go back in but the job doesnt get approved for sign off (not sure why, i was too incorehant to notice)
Anyway, the job was late, my boss got took to court over it, he sells his office and now works in his bedroom, trying to pay off the massive debt left with him from the job!!!!!!!
So yeah, pretty bad late one that!
