The alarm/traffic story
Monday, October 5th, 2009 10:00 amThis morning I woke up, dozed a bit, woke up again. Then I realised that it was fairly bright, and that I had forgotten to set my alarm last night. Whups! Upon checking the clock, everything was fine. I usually set my alarm early enough that it's fantastic if I get out, but allows for up to 40mins snooze if I'm excessively sleepy. I woke up right on the end of the 40mins time. Whoot!
So then I get ready and leave in fairly good time, only to get stuck behind an oversize swimming pool, followed by powerline works, followed by bunching up on the freeway caused by a truck stopped in one lane, followed by crappy traffic. Hilarious that I avoided being late due to no alarm, only to be a bit late anyway due to traffic. Luckily only about 5 minutes late, given that I've got the keys and we had two customers and one service customer almost as soon as the shop opened.
