All Clocks Stopped

Ciaran187 · 08-02-2010 9:03am #1

In the middle of having the worst morning ever.

Woke up without any alarms going off (not a good sign - there's a reason I have 7 alarms set on my phone!). Checked my watch - 11:15. Sh!t. Jumped up, realised it wasn't quite bright enough for 11:15 and checked my phone - 6:20. Phew.

Got back into bed. After about 10 minutes I heard movement downstairs. Went to investigate and there's my housemate getting ready to leave for work. Asked why he's leaving so early and he informs me that it's actually 8:30.

By some bizarre coincidence, my watch stopped last night AND my phone reset itself at exactly 2:00am. I'm sure time is toying with me. Making me think I'm late, then very early, then late again.

Just managed to clock in at 8:58. Broke a couple of red lights on my way in, fairly sure I'm parked across 3 disabled spaces on top of an old woman. Just arrived at my desk, panting (ran up the 10 flights of stairs), sweating and looking a bit rough and very tired. Just realising there's something about this day I was meant to remember. Meeting my new managers today at 8:30. Lovely.

Such a poxy morning. :mad:

It's a conspiracy.

Step 1: Change all the clocks in Ciaran's house.

Step 2: .......

Step 3: Profit.

I woke up on Saturday morning, checked my watch. 7.30. Jumped out of bed, realised it was the weekend, rolled back under the covers, delighted. Realise I need a slash. Tip-toe to the bathroom.

"Hi Daddy!"

Ah, bollocks.

Repeat for Sunday.

You probably p*ssed off your housemates by waking them up with your drunken shenanigans at some god-forsaken hour last night/this morning.
So they decided to reset your watch & phone.

Case closed.

I would say there's a possibility of this but I don't drink and I used the weekend to recharge after a very stressful week in work and to prepare for an even more stressful week.

Glad it started out well anyway!

It's nearly worse when they leave "nuggets" where they shouldn't be...I think most dog owners will understand.
