Ever got up for work when you did not have to?

[Captain Shaw]

This morning i woke and started running round the house in a total panic because it was 8.15 and i have to be at work for 8am.
Not till i checked my phone to see why the alarm did not go off did i notice that it was Saturday so did not need to be at work.
And yesterday i nearly started to walk towards my old work place . I am just wondering has anyone here ever done any thing similar or am i cracking up

Once in a blue moon I will wake up early on a weekend but my alarm clock has the day of the week on it so I'm sometimes annoyed, but I never end up out of bed for the mistake.

I was exhausted from school. It was the time of year when it is really dark in the morning. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up and saw the clock and said,"Oh shit, I'm late."So I start to hurry to get ready and I think I put the tv on and some show was on that made me realize that it was PM instead of AM. I must have really been wiped out.

 

[StolenThunder]

^ I like your alarm clock.

I've done it on occasion, had a wee panic on a Saturday or Sunday before that lovely realisation that there's no need to get out of bed.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I actually did that last year on one of my designated "rest days" and turned up for work. It was quite funny, actually.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Yes I did. After a somewhat 'long lunch' on a Saturday I dozed off in the late afternoon to be awoken by a knock on the door by the Ladies with the pamplets and God in their hearts at 1/4 to 8. I immediately panicked thinking I'd slept all night and would be late for my Sunday morning shift at work ~ to my co-workers hilarious laughter I turned up 12 hours before necessary

And Zee ~ I love that song, for some reason we know it as the sheep song I think it's the 'I should have know baa baa-ter' Fab song, takes me back to really bad discos

 

[What's his face]

I use the alarm function on my BlackBerry to wake me up. It has a handy dandy function which allows it to go off only on weekdays. That way, I never sleep in when I have to work, and I never get woken up on weekends.

When I was working I used to get up after I heard my son moving around. He used to leave for work slightly before me therefore I would wait until I knew he had had his shower and then i would get up and have my shower.

One day I got up and got ready and just as my son was leaving I asked him if there was anything he would like me to pick up from the supermarket on my way home from work. My son said "I didn't think you worked on Fridays". For some reason I had thought it was Thursday. It is a good thing my son remembered, otherwise I probably would have had the embarrassment of turning up on my day off.

Not from work, but back in high school, I once showed up for classes after I somehow missed the announcement that our school would be closed the next day.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

I switched my work schedule from 8am to 8:30 am. Twice I've raced out of the door in a blind panic at 7:30. I just took a longer lunch or left work that day at 5.

 

[Danoz]

I go to work when I don't "have to" fairly often (some weekend, etc) just to catch up on stuff. But have I ever scrambled by accident on a weekend when I thought I had to be there? Yes . But normally the feeling is more "relieved" than anything.

 

[Mallory]

Only once by accident and boy was I pissed when I got to the office and found out it was Saturday.

 

[Jetfire]

Never! I only got up early when I was off to takecare of stuff, DMV, pay my car insurance...etc.

This has happened a few times upon awakening while still in a hypnopompic state, but I always realize the error before I get out of bed.
