Don't fret it. Really. I just finished off a post for our PBP game, where
I couldn't get my character to listen to me. He's got 24 hours and a giant
bundle of nuyen to get himself prepared for this run. He made a list of
things to do, and then decided to go to the bar to unwind first. He spent
400+ nuyen just partying, and then overslept. Now he's late and hungover
and hurrying to meet the other characters. He's an idiot.

The whole time I was typing it, I kept looking for ways that I could at
least work in a couple of the things he really needed to do, but he wouldn't
let me. He kept saying, "Oh one more drink--I'll wake up early and do it
before I leave for the meet." Yeah whatever.

You would think that typing it would give me plenty of time to think about
what I'm doing and find a way to get around it or at least compromise. But
noooooo...

Paranoia rocks.
