Half Glass (extended metaphor-- monologue)

Half Glass

A juice glass.
A martini glass.
A shot glass.

Maybe you were pouring your morning orange juice when the phone rang.
Maybe there was only half a shot left in the whiskey bottle when you got home from work.
Maybe you only finished half your cosmo when you started puking.

"Did you eat breakfast this morning?"
"I had a couple screwdrivers before noon, does that count?"

Is the glass half full, or half empty?
It's one of those questions that's supposed to gauge your outlook on life.
Are you content because that glass is half full? Or depressed because it's half empty?
Are you half way there? Or are you half way gone?
