Good Morning

Okay, so my alarm went off at 6 this morning, as it has most of this week so I can get to work early to prepare for vacation next week. So I wake up all happy as I was rolling out of bed and saying to myself, as I am turning off my alarm, "I don't have to wake up to an alarm for over a week!" Then reality hit not even two seconds later, and I was like "Oh, I have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow." Talk about a buzz kill at 6:30.

I hate alarms. They never go off when you want them to. You might wake up at 5:30am and be awake enough to get up, but its not time yet. You lay there and lay there watching the minutes go by. Then as soon as you are getting tired and you start to doze off, the alarm goes off. At that point you realize you will be cranky all day because your stupid alarm went off. Then there are the mornings it just goes of far too early. The alarm never takes you into consideration. I think alarms should pay more attention to their masters. We may set the alarm to 5:30am one day, but do we really want to get up that early?? But then there is the job factor. You need to be there by a certain time. Now there they go, trying to run your life by demanding this time of arrival. They are just as mean as alarm clocks.

Now I shouldn't be talking. I don't have to be at work until 9. But for the most part, I try to get there early. I like to go in, have my cup of tea, and slowly roll into it. Oh, and if my phone rings before 9:15 at work - it best be important. For some time, the same person was calling me at 8:45 EVERY morning. I finanlly got to know him well enough where I could say "George, it is 8:45, what are you doing at 8:45?" He laughed, and now he will call that early just to get a good laugh with me in the morning. SERIOUSLY though - no need to start work that eary!

Okay, now that I have blabbered enough, I have to get my butt in gear for work. I am going casual, today at 5:30 starts my vacation baby, and if you think I am staying ONE minute over - you're nuts!

Sean, Willy, Tim, and Christine - I will get a picture of Kyle not burned for ya! And I can't wait to see you all on the 29th. Oh, and my friends Mike and Kellie (my old manager and his finace) might hang with us that night. They will be "home" too!!
