I woke up at 5AM after some tossing and turning - because I'm at a hotel, and you know how that goes.
My alarm was set for an hour and fifteen minutes later, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. I woke up again and thought, I wonder how long before the alarm goes off? I looked at the phone - it was 7:10. We were set to leave in 20 minutes.
I hauled ass out of bed, took a quick shower, threw on some clothes and made it downstairs in time to choke down some bacon and an English muffin.
There's something to be said for being low-maintenance. I put on makeup in the car on the way to the client site. Now, my hair wasn't perfect, but I was reasonably clean and presentable.
I still don't know what happened. Did I just sleep through the alarm? Did it never go off? Did I turn it off and go back to sleep? I have NO CLUE.
I never oversleep. Never. So, this was new territory. Tonight, I've set my phone with a hugely obnoxious alarm tone. I'll probably have the front desk do a wake up call too - just in case. And tomorrow, we start an hour earlier. Because... I have a job where that shit happens.
If I can make it on the plane tomorrow night, I'm good. I can sleep on the flight home. And Thursday is an easyish day. Customers in house for an Advisory Board meeting, then dinner.
Somewhere fancy. And I can be charming.
This weekend, I'll take time to celebrate my 9th wedding anniversary. If I don't fall over, first.
