One of the worst things...

So there I was, sleeping in my nice warm bed, having a lovely dream

and all of a sudden I come flying awake because...HORROR!...I realize that I've slept through my alarm and I am supposed to be at work already!  I made it to work in record time, but the rest of the day I was kind of out of it because I hadn't really had time to wake up gradually like I usually do.  Honestly, I think that being startled awake, for any reason, is one of the worst things ever.  Not only is your heart going a million miles an hour, but you don't feel refreshed, no matter how much sleep you got the night before.  All I can say is that this had better not happen again any time soon.
