Narrative:
This is a fatigue report. I had awakened at very early [hour] and commuted down to my base to be in position for my morning short call assignment. I had been at the airport all day long and had been fighting a cold. In the evening; I received a phone call from the crew desk saying they had a late night departure that I was legal for. I was already exhausted from being at the airport all day and did not expect to be called that late into my duty period; that anything after that should have gone to the afternoon short call pilot. I told him I was not fit to fly that late after being on duty for that long and the fatigue I was experiencing. I would have been departing 12 hours and 41 minutes after I started on duty.
