It finally happened....
....I am currently working weekend shifts. I dont mind it so much-I'm never at a loose end on a Saturday and I'm always occupied during those most dreaded hours of a Sunday afternoon (between 4pm and 6pm). The downside is, I have to be at work at 8am. Now, I can already hear some of you, particularly those with offspring no doubt, saying something to the moronic effect of "Oh 8am? That's a SLEEP IN!!" If you are they type to say and think such things, then I direct you to my balls, for the sucking thereof. 8am is early for me (and hopefully always will be) and it's somewhat of a struggle to make it on time.
On top of this woe is my inability to obtain sufficient sleep. The cause(s) of this is no great mystery, but it always seems that little bit more difficult to nod off knowing that I have to be awake early the next day.
As a general rule, I usually set my alarm to go off an hour before I'm due to be at work. Doesn't leave me with much time but it leaves me with enough time. So last night I set my alarm for 06:30. Of course, I awoke at about 04:30, and my brain started grinding into action, and all the things that currently cause me concern started causing me concern, and next thing I knew it was almost 05:30, which meant I had to be up in about an hour, which I'm sure you can imagine, was starting to give me the irrates. But eventually I nodded off for a little while and woke again at 06:20. I got up and started my routine, calculating what time I would need to leave in order to go and do the things I needed to do before I made it to work, when through the haze I had a startling revelation, and whilst standing alone in the kitchen, I asked out loud;
"Did I just set my alarm to go off half an hour early?"
After trying to remember what time I started work last week, and doing the time calculations one more time, my brain responded with a resounding 'Yes. You set your alarm to go off half an hour earlier than you needed to'.
The spiral continues.
