Day Off

It was her first day off in over three weeks and she intended to sleep late, very late. This was good as she'd put away enough wine to sink a battleship after work.
The phone ringing woke her from her near-unconscious slumber.
"Hello?"
She sounded groggy and she blinked rapildly in an attempt to make everything look less blurry. Her head was pounding and she felt sick.
"Where are you?"
It was her boss.
"In bed."
"And were you thinking of coming in today at all?"
She could see the clock. It was 10am. So much for the super-long lie in.
"Not really. It's my day off, remember?"
"No, that was yesterday."
