Stupid person of the week award goes to..

ME.

05.00 I got up to start my day, after my morning routine I head off to walk
the 1/2 mile to my pick up point. I get there at 05.55 , 5 minutes early as
per usual and sit down in the bus shelter in the centre of the village to
await the lorry.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang went the church bells and after an
agonizing wait no more clangs. Five clangs, not six clangs the church clock
must be wrong. WRONG.

Guess which muppet had missread his clock ,not one but at least 6 different
timepieces, and had got up ang gone to work one whole hour early?

Go on guess, if you can.

A mate of mine got up for work after putting the clock
forward 1 hour when he should have put it back
clocked in at 4.00 am instead of 6.00

I enjoyed being a student. I bought my first Land Rover (with my
wages from my placement year) and played Bass Guitar in a band. It
was an ace time ..... apart from all that studying stuff they made us
do.

My final year project had to be handed in by 15:30 on a Tuesday. I
went to bed on Saturday night but was up by 8am on Sunday and stayed
up until 4pm on the Tuesday after handing in the project (which had a
year's worth of work condensed into about 6 weeks.) At 4pm I crawled
into bed and fell asleep.

A few hours later I woke up and glanced at the radio alarm clock. It
was 7:05. Excellent! Just in time for The Archers, so I switched on
the radio.... and heard the Today programme. It was Wednesday
morning. Apparently my housemates did try to wake me up for our "end
of project" beer session but I wouldn't stir.

Didn't sleep properly for about 48 hours after my finals - too much Coke
and Pro Plus.

OTOH I managed 18 hours of oblivion after last years MENCAP National
Rally. I must be getting on!

Was it worth going home for an extra cuppa? I managed the trick of
turning up an hour early (on purpose) last winter, to realise that I
had forgotten the building key. Home was 20 minutes' drive away, so
it was almost exactly not worth going home, and I had to sit in an icy
car park and wait for the other keyholder to arrive. To make matters
worse, the work I had come in early to do was inside the building, soi
I couldn't even get on with it in the car. Arse.
