snoozes and smooches

i nearly overslept again today.

yesterday, i missed work coz i overslept. i don't know why, but i felt entirely exhausted the day before. i don't know why i didn't remember to set the alarm clock. and i don't know why, but i woke up at 6am and was fairly certain it was 6pm (what can i say, it looked just as dark and was just as cold this time of the year) until i thought about it summore and then nearly jumped off my bed and exclaimed in utter horror: "oh crap! holy crap! crap crap crap!!" *original words substituted*

and last night, i made sure i didn't oversleep again. i stayed awake till late at night, waiting to report to work at 3am. but then i grew tired of waiting and waiting, and ran put of chores to do. and the bed grew even more inviting, and my pillow was positively seducing. so, against my better judgment, i crawled onto the bed, and bam!, i zonked out. i remembered a half-glance at the clock and it beamed 1:30 am.

thank god i did set the alarm (how i managed to remember to do that, i couldn't recall). when the alarm screamed at 2:30, my hand automatically slammed it to snooze. the alarm clock waited, and then screamed again. slam-bam-bam to snooze. then scream, then snooze. scream, then snooze. and this went on for a while till my mind finally emerged from the clouds of lack of sleep and saw it was 4am. *expletive deleted*

i drove like a pelesit to the warehouse, whereupon i saw my boss already waiting for me with some f-word bombs. i apologized profusedly, embarrassed to no end, and promised it won't happen again. thankfully he let it go, and thankfully i never missed work before.

sheessshhh, this is typical me. i could've gotten fired!

i think i have spent my entire life struggling to straighten out every little wrinkles in my life and just when the stars seem to line up just perfectly and my life seems sufficiently satisfactory, the whole universe will collectively collapse on me and i'll find myself in big BIG trouble. somehow i've always always managed to have the knack to slip and fall into the deepest end of the shitpool, all in a matter of nano-seconds, and my life turns upside-down inside-out.

believe me, it is gonna take a whole lot of ass-smooching to iron-out this particular wrinkle on my boss' butt. kisses away!
