hell no.

Thankfully I'm only on call - but I threatened everyone who may try this option. So I'm guaranteed peace and tranquility.

Your down pipe will be you prize for working such an important day. The day will come and go in no time anyway.

I am.

Don't know yet whether it will be day or night though. Either way, I'm on duty for at least 5 hours.
