Trouble With Time

In the words of Coldplay:

"Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks."

Today, I learned that my alarm clock has become self aware... and it has also become evil.

My normal work routine requires me to get up at 6:45am and that is what the alarm is always set for. I always whack my radio up to full blast and wait faithfully in the land of nod for the eruption of music that jolts me awake... and my radio never lets me down, it always goes off at 6:45... at which point I begin to slowly stir from within my "cocoon".

Not today though... oh no. Today my alarm clock decides it's going to try and make it's own decision... and at 4:01 am, I was rudely summoned back from my slumber!

See... just what I said... evil, pure evil.

Truth be told, I always struggle this time of year... I think I should hibernate - I just don't operate properly. I get tired at really random times and I get even more gormless than normal. so as you can imagine the last thing I need is a rogue alarm clock getting ideas above it' station.

It had better not keep this mischievous habit up.

Now I'm off to catch some Z's. Hopefully more than four hours worth.
