Darkness descending
Just recently I've started to be woken by my alarm clock again. Whilst you might imagine this to be a good thing, the down side is that it's only happening because I'm asleep when the alarm goes off. And I'm only asleep when the alarm goes off because it's dark. As a general rule, you see, I'll waken naturally just after first light in the morning, usually at some absurdly early time during the summer, graduating to more reasonable times in the winter. Of course, at some point during the year the way the time at which I'll waken will cross the time I need to get up in order to go through my normal ablutions and get to work, and I find myself being rudely woken by the infernal alarm clock. And that point has now been reached.
Now, one thing you should know about me is that I hate to be woken. I don't mind waking up, so long as I get the opportunity to do it myself. But when it's forced on me, such as by the aforementioned infernal alarm clock, I really, truly resent it.
I'm not going to be in a good moon in the morning for the next several months. Bleh.
Now why is it that a man who hates so much to be woken up considers it so utterly acceptable to wake up others by, say, jumping on their bed? Or other such subtle means? Hmm?
I shall remember this. Probably some time earl December >:-)
