that was the bumper sticker i saw this morning at 7:07 a.m.
yes, it was early. do you want to know why i was on the road that early?
here's the story of how i actually got to work on time for the first time this summer.
i went running yesterday afternoon, and decided to get in a run this thursday morning to compensate for not doing anything all week and going out of town tomorrow for the weekend. so i set my alarm for 5 a.m. now, for those of you who know me well (or even just know me a little bit), you know i do not do mornings. so this 5 a.m. run thing was pure paving-the-way-to-hell good intention. anyhoo, i did not get an uninterrupted night of sleep due to a unsleepy husband who does not like the air conditioning as much as i do. so i naturally turned off my alarm at 5 and reset it for 6 a.m. like a good employee.
woke up from a crazy heat-induced dream at 7:21 a.m. panic ensues. my teeth are probably not as clean as they should be, and definitely are not flossed. coffee the law student was supposed to make is not made. makeup is not on. oh well, i'm more late than usual, so i forego the coffee and makeup. as i dash to the car, i look at my phone to calculate my ETA. it says 6:53 a.m. i do a double take, walk in the door to check the dvr clock, and realize it is not a dream. i am on time.
when i reset my alarm, i inadvertently set my clock forward an hour. so i put on makeup, make the coffee, water the plants, potty the dog and put her in bed with the law student and wake him up to tell him the story. i arrived at work at 7:10 a.m. this morning. model employee.
told you i was incident-prone.
