"Don't freak out. You're not late for work."
Last night, I came home from work and went straight to bed. I'd gone out the night before (I'll talk about this in another post) and ultimately got maybe 2.5 hours of sleep so I was dead tired when I got home. I slept almost straight through until this morning, when my alarms went off. After all, I hadn't bothered to turn them off for the weekend. I was that tired.
So at 6:25 this morning, the first alarm goes off. The first one is turned off pretty quickly. It's just a buzzer. I think to myself in that kind of half-awake muddied haze that it was Saturday and it sucked that the alarm went off.
Then the second alarm kicked off at 6:30. This one's the radio and the stuff that's coming out is the usual morning weekday radio show. Here I am thinking, "What the hell is this?" Is it a week day? Is it the weekend and they're just replaying morning show stuff?
At the end of the bit, the station identifier guy comes on and says, "Don't freak out. You're not late for work. It's the Best of the Zoo on Z100." Well, shit. I'm glad I didn't jump out of bed and dash for the shower.
Then again, I wouldn't have done that until the third alarm kicked in at 7:00.
