grindmonkehI'm not sure if I feel crazy or like an idiot.
I awoke to a sordid thunderstorm and the power to my apartment was off. The sun was over the horizon but throwing its last futile efforts of daylight onto the sky, giving it the appearance of one in morning. I hurridly lit a candle and found my watch. It said 7:45. I quickly dressed and dashed for my truck while wondering how the hell I overslept the entire night. I reasoned that if my alarm clock and phone were unpowered for that long it is a highly possible feat. I dashed to my truck, and after driving for less than a block I wondered, 'why I am even bothering to drive there in these conditions when my shift ends in fifteen anyhow?...there should be a few people there by now including my boss...hopefully he will understand.'
I turned around and came back home, and a few seconds after I walked in my power came back on. Neglecting to further examine the clocks, which are mostly still blinking, I called in to work. Allen answered. Allen works the four to midnight shift with Virgil.
"Allen?"
- Hey, what's up?
"Have you been there all night, man?"
- Well yeah.
"Is Mike there yet?"
- No...is he coming in?
"As far as I know."
*I heard Virgil's voice in the background making a comment referring to the boss*
"Virgil is still there too?!? Holy shit man, I overslept. Is he pissed?"
- What are you talking about? Do you know what time it is?
*It hit me...a wave of relief entwined with the breed of stupidity that comes with walking around all day with your fly down. Loki knows what I'm talking about.*
I looked at the vcr clock, which sets itself...7:50 PM. Congratulations, you're a pfffffffuckhead.
"I can't believe this, I thought it was morning, Allen. My power was out when I woke up so I didn't know what time it was. I threw on clothes and almost drove there, man. Believe it or not I am completely sober.
(I'm wondering at this point exactly how fucking looney I sound. What now? Yeah, talk about the weather, moron.)
Have you been outside?"
- No Virgil and I were about to go upstairs and look.
"It's thunderstorming pretty hard...my power just came back a few minutes ago. Boy do I feel cool now...um...I'll talk to you guys tonight."
*laughing* - Okay, later Matt.
I'm going to hear about this for a while from my co-workers. Doh.
