Going back in time & Geremi
So I had a 9 o'clock lecture yesterday. As I've posted before, I dislike 9's not only because of the earliness, but because of the coldness that strikes me as soon as I climb out of my duck-feathered duvet.
Anyway, I set my alarm for 7:30, which I thought was very sensible. So it goes off and I stop it and climb out. I go to the bathroom and take care of some business before I make it back to my room. As I'm used to, I turn on my computer to check emails (computing student anyone?) and notice that the clock on my laptop says 9:30. That seemed a bit odd. I then checked my watch and it concurred with the computer. At this point, I'm sort of having a mini mental breakdown. So I check my other watch and my mobile only to find that they're all siding with the computer. Bloody hell, why is my alarm clock's time two hours behind every other time-telling device? It did wake me up on time on Monday, so I can't see how all of a sudden it's two hours behind (and exactly two hours, not two hours and 40 minutes when you might assume the battery is faltering or something).
No problem then, I'll just make it to my meeting at 11 then, and Jimmy will brief me on what went on in the lecture when he gets back. So I make breakfast and am eating when I hear a door open. I look and it's Jimmy... what the hell!? Well, he conveniently forgot we had a lecture at 9. So it's not that bad, Matt can still brief us later on. When I meet with him at 11 for that team meeting it turns out he work up in time but couldn't be bothered going. Great stuff. So what happened in that lecture, I'll never know. And what happened to my alarm clock, I better find out! I just know that I've lost all faith on that alarm clock and now have to rely on my mobile until I get a new alarm clock.
In other news, did anyone see an interview with Geremi on Match of the Day? When asked about the stunning free kick he scored, he said "well, Drogba got fouled (read: took a dive) and we got a free kick. I asked Michael (Ballack) and Frank (Lampard) if I could take it and they let me. Then I kicked it and it went in and now I'm happy." Great stuff.
