Headache Day

so... today started off all right. okay, no not really all right, just not horrible. more disorienting.

i got home at about 11.3o last night and went straight to bed. i wanted to make sure i set my alarm properly though. so i set it back to 8.3oam, which in the morning usually gets morphed to 9am and then 9.15 am, and then i get up for work. *my clock is actually set approximately nine minutes early, so i generally end up getting up at about 9am on the days that i had class late the night before. of course, i get lazy when i finally have days off, so i'll usually get up a little later on the days that i don't have work in the morning.

Anyway, i reset my alarm, and i remember looking over at the clock right before i finally fell asleep and thinking "god, it's already 1.30 in the morning!"

and then, when david got up this morning, i noticed that he was actually leaving around seven even though he normally is supposed to leave at six. and i thought, man he really needs to work on getting up on time.

but i went back to sleep and didn't think anymore of it.

And then my alarm went off at 8.3oam, and i was really really tired. It shocked me out of a dream, and I hate it when that happens. So, i set the alarm back to 9am. and then after being shocked awake again, i set it to 9.2o and forced myself out of bed when it went off again.

I was in such a hurry to get to work that i didn't take a shower and just barely found a clean shirt, and i threw all my stuff together, and looked quickly at the clock on the microwave and headed out.

I listened to the radio on the way to work and just happened to look down at my car clock halfway down route 28. It was only 8.50am.

huh... but that couldn't be right. at 8.50am, i am supposed to still be in bed...

that's right. i accidentally set my alarm clock to an hour ahead and then... i was so completely fooled by it that i didn't realize my mistake until i was almost to work.

And I called up david and asked him what time it was, and he told me and said yeah, i think your alarm clock was ahead because i was freaking out that i was late this morning and wondering why i was so tired for it being an hour after i usually get up and then i got to my car and realized i was on time.


and it sucked even more because a new rule was passed that part-timers aren't supposed to be in the building before 10.00am. Guess who was in the building by herself at 9.00am this morning?

that's right. awkward....
