A typical morning

6:30AM : Woke up, took a shower and prepped to start another typical day.
7:00AM : Started the slow crawl down the freeway. I pop in my Guns n' Roses disc to ease the pain.

7:50AM : "Gotta find, gotta find, gotta find a carpark."
7:56AM : Walking down the road towards the building whistling my favourite tune "Manic Monday" - even though it's a thursday.

8:03AM : As I approach my desk, Jared - the early bird, looks me and then looks at his watch several times looking all puzzled that I came in soooo early in the morning.

"Happen to wet the bed today, eh?" He says.

Letting it go, I smile, give a big sigh and say good morning with my middle finger up in the air.

8:04AM : Waiting for my favorite OS in the world to boot, I try to clean the clutter on my desk. I find it easier to tidy up now that it's brought back memories when I was sitting next to Debbie, with her stuff slowly inching towards my side of the forest. - LOL just kidding Debbs =P

8:08AM : Logging in,I start up my favourite email client and go straight to the calendar.

"Oh snap!" I say silently to myself. "Meetings for the rest of the morning. There goes my productive day."

I sigh and click on my inbox officially starting my cleanup routine. Looking at the sender, I slowly click and delete all the junk that came from Rayana.

8:12AM : Still deleting. One of these days, I'll really set an email rule up when I have the time.

8:30AM : Naughty girl comes in looking a bit tired and with only half a smile set. (That's because she hasn't had her triple-quad-espresso shot yet)

"Morning!" I say with as much enthusiasm I could muster.

"..." She just looks at me and puts in a decent effort for a smile. She quickly plops down on her machine and starts her morning ritual as well.

"Geez Louise Papa Cheese." I think, she's probably more knackered than usual. Mental note : I jot down "nasty girl" as a future nickname for her.

8:40AM : Margaret comes in and says good morning. She's sooo quiet at times that that's usually the last word you usually hear from her until lunch. But we still like her though. =)

8:45AM : Naughty girl suddenly jumps up in hysterics and yells "Coffeeeeeeee!!! Coffeeeeeeee!!! Coffeeeeeeee!!! Coffeeeeeeee!!!"

I fall from my seat literally startled. As I lay down the floor looking at the lights my vision goes blurry and realise the noise was just my alarm clock going off.

I sit up in bed rubbing my eyes and dawned on me that I'm on leave.
