The good thing about pessimism

I'm usually right. I didn't get the interview.

I'm glad I never gave up the things I cared about. A day spent drinking
on an empty stomach wasn't part of the plan for what I was going to do
but the lucky thing is I know how to use plans. They're useful unless
you've got something better to do and today it's drinking myself into
oblivion!

Of course normally that plan-as-a-backup strategy would be something I'd
suggest for someone who's on holiday.
