Take Your Pillow to Work Day

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 9:37 pm (unpleasant things, work) (, )

Around 2:30 this afternoon, I was really wishing that today was National Take Your Pillow to Work Day. Since I’m responsible for the success (or failure) of the online course registration system, I’m the lucky person who gets to field phone calls from students who think they’re encountering problems when the web opens for registration at 7:00 on their designated day.

I think the most common type of phone call I received yesterday morning was from juniors who thought they were seniors. I only wish I were kidding. (Seniors register on Monday, juniors on Tuesday, etc.)

I tend to be a night owl, so the past couple mornings I’ve gotten to see things I don’t usually see. And since misery loves company, I captured a few moments to share with you.

(That’s pretty much the Worst Picture Ever, but I didn’t exactly allow extra time for a photo shoot in my car.)

Two early mornings down, two to go. Try not to be jealous.

    That is a yucky time to see on your work phone. :(

    Ugh. I hate early mornings too, especially when it’s cold. At least this isn’t the norm for you.

    How is it light out at 6:52 AM?

    Laura: Personally, I think that’s a yucky time to see on ANY clock. ;)

    Jennifer: Now that I’ve been getting up at 6:00 for four mornings in a row, I’m afraid I’ll wake up that early tomorrow too…

    JDT: Have you forgotten what life is like on this side of the 49th parallel?

    I tend to be more of a night owl, too.

    And, I bet you’ve never seen a pillow like this: http://littlenibbler.blogspot.com/2004/11/lap-alicious.html
