Jetlag Days
This morning marks the second time this week I’ve awoken obscenely late. On Monday morning, the first morning back from Las Vegas, I first hit snooze at 8:45am. I hit it again in 10 minutes, and awoke at 1:30pm. This morning I nearly did it all over again, first registering the time at 11:30am. At work I asked Art, who occasionally wears the HR hat, to dock me a half vacation day for this week’s nonsense.
Chap suggested it was jetlag, but I find that hard to believe, although the prior three mornings to this week I was waking up at the equivalent of 3-4pm eastern time. And by the end of the week I was spookily comfortable with existing out of my Las Vegas hotel room.
Still, pretty pathetic. If Cindy’s had the same problem she’s been keeping it under wraps. Before I left home this morning I cranked up the alarm clock volulme. Let’s hope for better results tomorrow.

I could give you a wake up call when I first climb out of bed. Don’t worry, once you’ve gotten out of bed at 5:30 AM one time, the following attempts get successively easier.

Cindy hasn’t had the same problem - In fact I’ve managed to arrive to work on time every day this week (something of a feat in itself). Of course, I’m sure it’s different.
Surely you can blame it on the fact that you spent over a week out there. Don’t worry. We won’t judge…
Of course I can always call one of my officer friends if you’d like. They are occasionally called out by parents unable to get their kids up for school in the morning - sort of a scare-the-crap-out-of-the-kid wake up call. I’m confident they could do you the same service if necessary. Just let me know.

I could give you a five-finger open-hand slap to the face all the way from Nashville, you sleepy mo-fro! SLAP!!

” Don’t worry, once you’ve gotten out of bed at 5:30 AM one time, the following attempts get successively easier.”
That gave me a pretty good hard laugh!
