sam and the city

The curtains are fading and the milks gone sour!

Good day faithful readers. Do you ever wake up and just have a feeling in your stomach that something is not quite right?

My alarm went off at 6am this-morning as per usual and as per usual I switched it off and went back to sleep. Just a for a few minutes though because I shortly rolled over, checked my watch and saw that it was 6:10. Oh, time for just a few minutes more I thought, so I closed my eyes.

Eventually I decided that I'd best get up and have a shower and start getting ready, so that's exactly what I did.

When I got out of the shower I looked at my watch again quickly and saw that it was half past. Oh, that was a quick shower I thought. Very good, I'll be able to have a nice leisurely breakfast.

While I was sitting in the kitchen chomping on my toast and sipping on my coffee, slowly letting the caffeine take effect I looked at the clock on the wall. Quarter too, still plenty off... hang on... that says quarter to eight! I look at my watch and confirm. What the hell happened? I'm missing an hour! How long did I close my eyes for exactly?

Risking third degree burns I down the remainder of my coffee in a single gulp and leave a trail of crumbs around the house that Hansel and Gretel would be proud of as I try to eat my toast, pack my bag and finish getting dressed at the same time. A mere 5 mins later I was out the door and rushing for the bus.

Arriving at the train station I look at the clock... five past, I can still make it to work in a reasonable time. Hang on... that says 7:05! I look at my watch again... 8:05... what is going on?! Shit, daylight savings finished this weekend didn't it?!

As if normal Monday mornings weren't bad enough! Try thinking that you're running early, then discover that you're running late, then once you've made up all that time find that you're running early again. It's very disconcerting not knowing when you are!

At least the security guards found my story funny when they had to open the doors for me because I was the first one there.
