A small preview of Watney's thoughts before going off on the Ares 3 mission. A good intro, almost wish there was more!

Not 5 stars because I want more! Lots of foreshadowing, and can be read either before or after The Martian. Took about 10 minutes to read. Typical Watney antics. I read it here: https://the-martian.fandom.com/wiki/Diary_Of_An_AssCan:_A_Mark_Watney_Short_Story

Very short, very ironic, and well worth reading if you've read The Martian.
