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.
