Bedroom Clock Rant
« on: August 11, 2021, 08:54:53 AM »
What the hell?  I wake up and see my clock says 4:30 and I usually leave for work between 4:00 and 4:15am so I jumped out of bed, got ready, and ran out the door.  Why didn't my alarm clock go off or did I sleep through it?  I get to work and see on my phone that it says 12:30am..... ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently the clock in the bedroom got unplugged and was re-plugged in (without correcting the time) to have a 4 hour difference.  Instead of staying at work, I drove home for 3 hours more sleep, but should have stayed at work since I was wide awake at this point. 

Damn You HUMP DAY!!!!

Woke up the other day. Couldn’t remember if it was Saturday or Sunday. Turns out it was Wednesday when I checked my phone.

Trust . . . but verify, especially at your age.

Im surprised you didn’t check your phone or car clocks, that is an incredible mistake. Though I guess midnight looks just like 4:30. Totally wild.

Everyone asked me that and I only have possible reasons why, but it's still all just excuses.  I just guess in my panic on only a few hours of sleep after taking Z-Quil and being over 50, well.... I guess that explains a lot.  lol

I must have alarm PTSD now....  I've checked the phone and clock twice each of the last two mornings to make sure I wasn't duped again.  lol
