I have to work tonight
A lazy person's excuse when their friends are trying to drag them out of their couch and into the real world. It sounds like a sad lie, but it might just be the truth.
I have to work tonight. My brain is dead and my soul is in a blender.
I have to work tonight. My boss is a sadistic vampire who feeds on my productivity.
I have to work tonight. I’d rather be dead than face my coworkers again.
