Is It Monday?
Generally, I have Friday off from work. This week there were several circumstances that required me to be at the office today. But...
I was up most of the night last night with an emergency - it turned out OK and we got home in time for me to sleep for a few hours before I had to leave for work. Seems pretty straightforward, but....
I use the alarm on my cell phone which has all sorts off little extras, like picking what days the alarm will go off. As we were climbing into bed at 4:30 this morning I adjusted the time of my usual alarm to give me an extra hour, I checked the volume to ensure it would wake me but (hopefully) not him, I plugged it in to guarantee it had plenty of juice, but....
I forgot to change the days, which are generally set to Monday - Thursday. So, it didn't go off. So, I overslept.
Thank goodness for critters waking me or I would probably still be snoozing. 
"Thank goodness for critters waking me..." !?! Did you sleep in a meadow? I hope the rest of your Friday was a good one!

The rest of the day was about the same - one client with three separate accounts and a desire to test my ability to handle curve balls with a deadline looming.

On the feline front, we have one by whom you could set your watch. At the appointed time, he will stand on you. If there is no movement, he will lay on and stare at you until you wake up. Not a bad way to start the morning, all things considered.
