File this under W for Well Ain't That A Bitch.

So yesterday I woke up to my alarm going off only to realize I was supposed to be at work RIGHT THEN. "Idiot!" I said to myself, "Why did you set your alarm for right at 10 and not earlier?" So I raced around like a chicken with my head cut off, brushed my teeth, got dressed, skipped breakfast and was about to race out the door when I looked at the clock once more. I realized it was 9 o'clock, not 10, and that my alarm was really just a reminder that I had to be up in an hour. "Oh how silly", I thought as I jumped back into bed, "At least I'm not really late." I quickly fell back asleep and continued sleeping for 2 whole hours, missing my REAL alarm plus 2 phone calls from my boss, wondering why I where I was.
The really silly thing was that I was only scheduled to work one hour, 10-11, and I had volunteered to come in and help the other person who would have been working alone. Luckily my boss was cool with it, and even seemed to see the humor in the situation, so no real harm was done.
But still, it was a quintessential "Well ain't that a bitch?" kind of moments.
