Make me feel better- who else overslept?

[LaraMN]

I set my alarm, but neglected to turn it ON, and ended up making NoelMN late for school. I woke up to several inches of snow, and SophieMN told me I'd better go take a nap on the couch, because my "eyes look really crabby." x(

Ahhh, sweet Monday- ripe with potential and promise (that I'll hose up most mundane matters, anyway.)

[elocs]

1. This is exactly what I like about working 3rd shift...

I can sleep in everyday and not have to wake up to an alarm. I anticipate alarms, waking up 3 hours before it sounds, then 2, 1, and finally about 15 minutes. What is funny about being able to sleep in is that I don't sleep more than 7-9 hours and it is nice to wake up naturally when I am ready. For me, the only thing different about 3rd shift is that I sleep during the time I used to be working when I was on days.

[LaraMN]

4. Yeah. I'm the farthest thing from a "morning person."

I am dead until the alarm goes off, and even still, it often takes me ten minutes of beeping or a hollering kid, before I hear it.

[Guava Jelly]

2. I think you were the only one on the planet that overslept :o)

I'm kidden..Try to have a good one

[LaraMN]

5. That's what I thought.

Where slack is concerned, once AGAIN, I'm an overachiever. <sigh> The pressure of being exceptional is SO overwhelming.

:rofl:

[crim son]

3. Oh, I did!

I had the alarm set for 8:25 for some danged reason. Since I didn't fall asleep until just before four I'd still be sleeping now if it weren't for my secondary alarm a.k.a. my boy Henry.

[LaraMN]

6. Ugh. I hear ya. Now I feel moderately deranged by that

wakinguptoofastandrunninglikeamadperson feeling. At least I have good coffee and nowhere to be, for a few hours!:bounce:

[crim son]

7. Me too!

Usually I do only one cup; this morning it's two. I'm supposed to be playing the piano but instead I keep moving between it and the computer. And I'm typing really, really fast!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

8. When don't I? I did today...for 1.5 hours. oops

damn you snooze button :nuke:

[LaraMN]

11. Your snooze button lasts for an hour and a half?!

:P :rofl:

Mornings suck.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

20. umm.......maybe 8 minutes. but i hit it a lot. and repeatedly

over and over and over

:dunce:

[miss_american_pie]

9. I didn't oversleep

but the four year old has accused me of crankiness twice now. ;) :hi:

[billyskank]

10. Hey

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

24. Hey yourself

:hi:

[LaraMN]

13. Four year olds are too smart for their own good!

Last night, mine went on a lengthy tirade about how gross it is when grown-ups kiss.

:P

[miss_american_pie]

25. Ah, if they only knew

:evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

27. I'm pretty sure the eight year old knows.

I'm not very good at using my "library voice" ...
:blush:

[miss_american_pie]

33. Bwahahaha!

Yeah, that skill takes a while, and usually an embarrassing incident, to develop. :D

[BarenakedLady]

12. Me

I just got up. I stayed up until about 3:30am playing a stupid game. :boring:

[LaraMN]

16. Ahhh- Tetris was once both my lover and my enemy.

:rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Wow, LaraMN! All that for you this AM

..and still no TP, too????

[LaraMN]

17. No. All I have is generic paper toweling.

And I'm MUCH too lazy to go to the store! Maybe I can just hold it until this afternoon.:P

[Truebrit71sbruv]

15. Can beat that....

... didn't even bother with sleep at all... I'm now seeing vapour-trails as people walk past me...

[LaraMN]

18. That probably sounds alot cooler than it actually is, huh?

:D

[Truebrit71sbruv]

19. oooooh so much more....

.... this is the zenith of uncoolityishness

[azmouse]

21. This probably isn't what you want to hear but

I wish I could oversleep. I'm a morning person. I love the morning. But I sometimes wish I could sleep later than I do... especially on weekends. But regular as clockwork I'm awake at 6:30! And it doesn't matter what time I go to bed I wake up at the same time.

On the very bright side the temps here are in the high 70s! No snow to worry about. :7

[RetroLounge]

22. Overslept 2 hours...

:hi:

RL

[MissMillie]

23. I did--a little bit

I made it to work on time, but I missed my workout.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Slept in until about 3:00.

I love days off.

[LaraMN]

28. A day off...

How can I get me one of those? Oh yeah- committment to a mental institution.

:7

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Well if you wanted today off, you should have moved to Canada yesterday.

:P

[LaraMN]

30. I tried.

Even as a northern Minnesotan pseudo-Canuck, I couldn't adequately pronounce the long-o sound.

No one loves me.

:cry:

[Left Is Write]

31. Not only did I not sleep late, I actually got called in to work.

Sorry you're having a rough day.

[LaraMN]

32. Meh. S'okay.

I went to the store and replenished our stock of toilet paper, SophieMN zonked out on the couch, and my boys are at school. I have class to look forward to tonight, so things aren't bad. Perhaps we'll all fare fabulously tomorrow, after getting the kinks out today!

[dpbrown]

34. Snow! Snow! Glorious Snow!

Okay. Carry on.

:hi:

[LaraMN]

37. Did you guys get it, too?

Sophie went outside and made a snow angel, today. In a damn skirt and tights. She's got a bit to learn.

:eyes:

[dpbrown]

40. Stupid flurries...

Hardly worth opening my eyes for.

x(

[SKKY]

35. I overslept, and almost missed a deployment...

...in the Navy, that's the quickest way to lose rank available. Luckily, a buddy on the ship kept calling and calling until I woke up. We lost power and
the clock reset. Not technically my fault, but it wouldn't have mattered.

[LaraMN]

38. Ohh! That's no good!

It's lousy having to depend on technology, but my internal clock isn't particularly reliable.

[SeattleGirl]

36. I did. Allergies kicking up badly. I didn't even hear the alarm.

I hate this. x(

[LaraMN]

39. Allergies suck.

Mine have gotten better as I've gotten older, but I still can't handle cats. Of course, they always looove me. I hope you can get some good meds and some equally restorative sleep!
