Temporally Challenged

I woke up this morning with the radio alarm blaring, and Macy biting me, rolled over and looked at the time and thought "shit, fucking late again". Got up, did the bare necessities in order to leave the house clothed and reasonably presentable, and headed out. The news was on the radio while I was brushing my teeth, so by the time I finished that and got dressed, i figured it was about 8:15 when I left the house.

Walked up the street and a bus came zooming past as I got to the corner, I managed to run-walk to the stop in time to catch it... stopped at the bakery and got a pork roll for my lunch today, watching the minute hand tick around to 25 past thinking "well shit I'm definitely going to be late" ... the train was pulling in as I got to the station so I did the dash down the stairs and made it. Sat down and opened my book and shut the rest of the world off. Around Erskineville I looked up from my book and thought two things "gosh the train is full for this time of the morning" and "I should ring the potplant and let him know I'm running a bit late". So I dug my phone out, and noticed the time on the screensaver... 7:57am.

Not running late. Running VERY EARLY. I left home a bit after 7am... I walked into work at 8:15am... I start at 9am. I fail completely at time.

I am SO taking an early mark tonight.
