my morning thus far

My consiousness realized itself again moments before Frankie's alarm went off. The blaring siren of it cut through my soul's attempt to adjust to life again, which was taking me a tad longer than usual this morning. In fact, it took me so long that I was only getting out of the shower 5 minutes before I needed to be at work. I stumbled blurry eyed and wet headed into my office only to be greeted by one of my favorite professors who was far too chirpy for this hour of the morning, or perhaps for this morning of the hour. I had barely seated myself when I was handed a course syllabi and requested to make 47 copies. Not a big deal but I forgot to press the staple button on the copy machine so I was forced to hand staple each syllabi because of course the department had gotten rid of its electronic stapler now that it has a copy machine that sorts and staples.

and I've only been clean for 46 minutes.
