Confusion
February 2nd, 2008, 1:00 am
By John

Thursday night I was exhausted, which on top of how I was feeling was not a good combination. My nose was stuffed and I had a headache that I couldn’t shake for the past week, so I just wanted to get to bed.

After taking care of a couple things, I called it a night. Swigged down a dose of NyQuil, set my alarms, and called it a night.

I was expecting a call from Chenoa in the morning. Nothing big, we just hadn’t really talked much in the past couple of days. I missed it.

I also missed the first, second, third, and fourth alarms. I missed the alarm that my TV has. My phone alarms never woke me. Neither did the text Chenoa sent me to let me know she tried calling me, or the picture text that Whitters sent me to tell me how cold it was by her.

I woke up about 10 minutes after I was supposed to have left for work. I washed my face down, brushed my teeth, got dressed, and sent an IM to Chenoa apologizing for missing the call (and laughed when I saw her away message, silly girl. It’s not Friday!). From there I bolted out the door, with the pouring rain beat down on my poor little car as I was trying to do my best to make up for lost time. The weather kept me close to the speed limit, thus countering my attempts at catch-up.

Only - right before I left the house did I realize that it was not Saturday, but Friday morning. And that my message to Chenoa was probably a dumb one, because I think I mentioned that it was Saturday or something.

I’m kind of hoping that last part was really in my head.

    Wow. You must have been really tired to sleep through all of that. I probably would have just called in sick if I was you. I hope you didn’t get in trouble for being late! Or maybe you weren’t late at all…

    Lol. I kinda did wonder why you didn’t respond back, but then I caught you on AIM when I got back to my room.

    Yea, NyQuil will do that to you. I was actually just telling one of my coworkers about that today. She was going to buy NyQuil because she felt sick and I made it perfectly clear that DayQuil would be a much better idea. I can’t last 10 minutes after taking NyQuil. The second it hits me, I basically KNOW I’ll be sleeping for at least 8 hours. :)

    I should explain. My phone has three alarms. Then there’s my Sharper Image clock, which has four alarms. Throw in my TV, and you have a total of eight alarms, alerts, whatever. And I use each and every one of them so I can be up, with the first alert chirping about two hours before I have to be up. And I don’t always hear the first round of alarms, either.

    Generally, I have to be at work at 10. I don’t know where you got this idea that I would be at work at 8:45 in the f’n morning. I’m usually waking up around then!

    Whenever I need to get some sleep and I’m sick, I go to NyQuil. I pass out, but I never oversleep. This was the first time I felt this bad in the morning.

    I’ve been on NyQuil for the past few days as well. It makes you loopy as hell… not that you didn’t know.

    Like me, you need an alarm that’s stronger, not louder. One that will turn your bed over if you don’t disable it after the first three audio alarms.

    I’d just end up sleeping on the floor.
