Evil Alarm Clocks

I am quite tired tonite. I had an interesting run in with my alarm clock this morning. Tricky little bastard. Somehow I managed to set it for 2 am instead of 7 am. I'm still not exactly sure how I did that, although I was playing around with it this weekend since weekend mornings are different than those during the week. Well, being that it was 2 am, or just because I can look at things and not truly seem them - who knows why - I got up when my alarm rang off. I then preceded to shower, dress, make a lunch, and do my hair. All the time looking at the second hand of the kitchen clock but missing the glaringly obvious fact that the small hand was not in its usual morning place. At what I thought was about 6:45 (but was in fact 2:45) I left my house into the darkness, which did seem strange, but alas the days are getting shorter I told myself. And began the drive to work. Things started to come together as I glanced about into traffic which seem strangely nonexistant. At this point I looked over to my car clock to see if I was going to be late and saw 2:52. Hmmm. That's not right. Did someone change my clock as a joke? My sister did have the vehicle for awhile this weekend. No. It is kinda dark out. And there aren't any cars. And nothing is open. O dear. It can't really be 3:00 am can it? Feeling slightly alarmed I opened my purse and retreaved my cell phone which would definately know what time it was. Yes. It was in fact nearly 3 am. I was 5 hours early for work. Sigh. It must be monday. Now what to do? Well, I was ready for work, I could go. No that's just ridiculous. Back home I drove. Back to bed for a few more hours of not so great sleep. I probably would have been better off to have just stayed up. O well. Its sad when your life would make a really great blond joke.
