    Totally no idea what day it is (self-sighting)

    Short one: for some reason this morning, I thought it was Saturday instead of Friday. Got toward the end of my first route, realized I was coming up a few short, and then it finally dawned on me. So I had to back-track to my weekend-only customers and retrieve the papers I errantly delivered.

    In my defense, I've been on a sort of schedule whiplash all week with stuff shifting around, and I was distracted by my phone blowing up this morning. (Why am I getting so many texts at 4am all of a sudden?!? Go the f**k to sleep, people!)

    I'm going into work today to detail a major upcoming trade-show conference we're hosting (client is visiting today to go over details...was originally supposed to be my day off). I guess my subconscious really just doesn't want to deal with it!

    Heeheehee. Don't forget, daylight savings time is approaching (2AM on Nov 2nd), so don't let that throw you off

      Today I got to work early because I thought it was next Saturday. And later, when the store opened, someone's ringtone was the same one as my alarm tone. So I had the disconcerting thought that maybe I was actually at home, sleeping through my alarm.
      Replace anger management with stupidity management.

        Similar incident for me last week. I was backing into a loading bay when I heard my "master caution" alarm (covers both low air pressure and the "will shut down in one minute to protect the engine" ultra-serious form of the "check engine" light). Took a quick look at the dash, but no red lights. Turns out a truck at the business across the street was backing up, and their backup alarm had the same tone and pulse length/frequency as my "master caution" alarm.
