Nightmare becomes Reality

Where should I begin this story?  Well, first, I am Obsessive Compulsive when it comes to my wake-up alarm.  I check it at least five times before I go to bed.  Is is set for the right hour? AM or PM? is the volume high enough? etc.,

I worked this morning from 6-2 which means my alarm was set to go off at 5am.¬† So, this morning I am lying in bed “hmmm, I wonder what time it is.”¬† “I checked my alarm last night and it hasn’t gone off yet.”¬† “Let met just make sure.”¬† So I get up and walk across the room to my dresser to pick up my phone.¬† … “where is my phone?”¬† “Oh NO!” “PHONE!!!!”¬† So, I ran frantically to the kitchen to find a clock¬† “6:22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”¬† “NO!!!!!!!”¬† “WHERE IS MY PHONE!!!”¬† … It was in my bed, under the covers!!!!!! ¬† “I’m supposed to be at work, and I have the key to get in!¬† somebody is waiting out in the cold!¬† Oh no!”¬† I text my manager “just woke up.¬† running to work”¬† No lie! I ran out of the dorm.

So, I make to to work, and guess what.¬† My opener isn’t there!!!¬† She thought she worked later in the day and didn’t open.¬† So finally, we both are at work and have 20 minutes to get the store ready to open!¬† Praise God we made it!

But my story isn’t finished!

The GM was supposed to come in today at 8am. She lives kind of far away and needs to take the 210E to get to Pomona.  If you have heard any traffic reports this morning you heard about the major accident on the 210E that caused two fatalities, well she had to sit in that traffic.  Two hours after she was supposed to be at Subway she finally made it!

So I don’t know how in the world it was possible, but all three of us were late!¬† We all had our own issuse, but it made for a very intersting morning.
