The twilight zone

The alarm rang at 5:45 a.m. I hit snooze, dozed for 15 minutes, and the clock went off again at 6:00 a.m. Very routine - this scene occurs every weekday morning.

So imagine my surprise, when I rolled on my mattress to look at the time, aware that the room was bright and toasty warm, to see the numbers 9:24 flash before my eyes. (INSERT HERE: The scene from Home Alone when Macauley Culkin splashes after shave on his face).

I woke up convinced it was Saturday and arrived to work 3 hours late. I've never done that before.

It's just going to be one of those days!
