This made my humour reading for the day !! Loved it to the core !!

 6:30       Wakeup and lie awake in Bed 6:31       Realize you spent $18 on last night's dinner,              means no eating out for the next 6  weeks 6:32       Hit snooze button.  Go back to sleep. 7:00       Wake up suddenly with heart in mouth when you             realize you didn't hit the snooze   button--you turned it off.  7:01       fall asleep again. 7:44       Wake up with heart in mouth again. 7:45       Ready to go to school, will shave tommorrow,              will eat early brunch at             (Denny's/Penny's/Lenny's/Dinko's whatever              cafeteria). 8:03       Arrive at school             Realize your foreign officemate arrived earlier              today must have got more work   done 8:04       Pass by Advisor's office, chat with Secretary to              find out if he is coming in today. He   is, darn.             Need to start work on the draft due this afternoon.  8:15       Read electronic mail 8:20       Delete mail from students taking CMPSC201              regarding questions about the class.             Hate your TA job.             Depression: too much work to do today  9:00       For jumpstart: go to Pepsi machine. 9:05       Kick Pepsi machine; promise yourself to call up              the company  and ask for your   money back.             Wonder why they would beleive you.
