You really are a nasty piece of work.

Why? Becasue I refuse to enable you by sitting around and saying "Poor little Mike. He has a disease. He needs my support and sympathy so he can screw up yet again." Sorry, I don't play that game.

You may think that I am a nasty piece of work because I refuse to coddle you and that is your prerogative. I think that you are a self-indulgent and self-pitying piece of work that refuses to take any responsibility for his actions. Personally, I would rather be nasty.

As a matter of fact, I am working on a remote project starting today.

Good. Let's hope that this time you can stay sober enough to hang on to it for more than just a few days. 'Course, if it is remote, they will have no way of knowing when you are drunk, will they?
