Default Oh crud...I am hours late!!

Woke up today ...noticed clock..and brain instantly went into "Oh crud! Somehow I over slept by hours, and I am late for work!!!" panic mode...so I hop up..fire up my computer trying to figure out how in the heck I am going to explain what happen...

Only to realize..that the clock is saying AM NOT PM. I was only about 9 hours early.

I've done that before....except I've assumed that it's 9am and I'm waking up thinking I've overslept, only to discover that it's actually 5am.

I once got up an hour early and didn't realize it. Left for work, bus was coming, got to work and the security guards says, "you're early today." I look at my watch...it was 7:20 AM. I didn't have to be there until 8:30.

Damn.

I've done fireheart's and Mooncat's things. I've also showed up at work when I wasn't scheduled.

One of my friends got herself all ready and to uni on time...then found out that she was 2 weeks early because she had the wrong date!

I've done that a couple of times. Once showed up to work 4 hours early, convinced that I was 2 hours late.

The worst, though, was when I thought I woke up so late that I had missed my carpool to college. I threw on some clothes, grabbed my backpack, stole my grandmother's car keys so I could drive myself, made a mad dash to campus (35 miles in 30 minutes on back roads) only to discover that it was Saturday morning - my one and only day off from both work and school.

Hee, my Mom dragged me out of bed one day angry that I overslept (I was little!), was having me run all around getting ready for school, yelling "How could I have slept so late!?"When said groggily "Because it's SATURDAY Mommy!" Never seen Mom turn so red!
