Delusions Become ME...
Oh my goodness, I'm a spaz. Today for work, the staff had to go to one of CUNY's colleges, Baruch College, for our weekly Friday 9am meetings, instead of going straight to work, then go back to the office afterwards. As u can imagine, I definitely want to make a good impression, as this is my first meeting with my job and all. I always set my alarm for 7:30am and leave out the house by 8 am (I iron my clothes from the night before so all I have to do is brush my teeth and put my clothes on). Now, I have been notorious in the past for waking up when the alarm goes off and going right back to sleep, and having no recollection of that action, only to wake up hours later in horrified surprise.
Well, I went to bed around 1am and almost fell asleep immediately. I woke up in the morning and sleepily glanced at the clock. It read 10:07am!!!!!!!
I flew out of bed, cursing at myself and furiously mumbling how bad of an impression this would look to my boss and how crappy this Friday was turning out to be. My brother was ironing his pants or something, and I was absently talking to him about how late I was, but he just managed a laugh and carried on with his business. I brushed my teeth, and returned to my room. When I looked back at the clock...
It read 7:14am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I imagined the whole damn thing! Oh my goodness. I'm so crazy. A wave of relief rushed through me and I was able to laugh at myself. I am so crazy when wake up from sleep. There have been other times when I've woken up from sleep and I imagined it was a week day, sprinting from my bed, going through the routines of getting up and getting ready to go to work, only to realize minutes later that it was the weekend.
After I realized my utter delusional stupidity, I even got a chance to sleep 20 more minutes before heading off to work. Yee haa!
