Unacceptable
I just pulled an all-nighter to write a report.
It's a report for a business class. A report on Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
The silly thing ran to 20 pages. And now I'm sitting here, quivering slightly, listening to the birds as they begin calling outside. I'm trying not to think about the assignment I have to turn in later today, the biblical studies assignment that might almost be fun if it weren't for not sleeping the night before.
Did I mention that I did this while suffering from nausea? And that I hate the course? I hate it because it's a business course; I hate it because I've already been accepted to two graduate programs in a totally unrelated field; I hate it because it's the only course that's really requiring me to do any work for the rest of the semester.
Now I have an hour and twenty minutes before I have to turn in my 20-page report on Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. What can a person do in an hour and twenty minutes?
I think I'll go watch the sunrise.

Clearly you ought to share this paper and the story behind it with the Krispy Kreme company (kompany?); they might give you a Purple Heart (or at least some free donuts) if you offer to let them use the paper for advertising...or something.
As sucky as all-nighters are, anything that gives you an excuse to see a sunrise can't be all bad, in my book. (Mostly bad, perhaps...)

aww...*hug* I'm sorry you had to stay up all night. That's retarded! *growls at silly business classes* I hope you're feeling better...if you're not, let me know and I'll make you soup or something.

You wanna know what's really funny, Martinez? This blogpost is featured at the Google Finance page for Krispy Kreme. Check it out.
And thank you all for your sympathy.

You should post the report and get it linked. Maybe you could get a consultant gig or something to get yourself a bit of extra cash.

Oh the irony of staying awake all night for Krispy Kreme.
Oh wait, it would have been a lot more ironic if it were Starbucks.
That sounds pretty miserable, Wilson. I think you should have stolen a paper from somewhere. Sleep could have come much quicker. But it would have been a restless sleep from the guilt. Guess you can't win.
