Gorse Fox has learnt over the years that the secret to successful "working at home" is discipline. The fact that he is in his home office and not some other office is incidental. As a result he still gets up and aims to be at his desk before 8:00. Indeed, when he's busy it may be an hour or more earlier. Once there, he stays put until lunch and on his return again stays put until after 18:00.
This morning GF woke, stretched out to see the clock and hit the roof in horror. It was 8:00, he had failed to set the alarm and slept beyond the time he deems reasonable on a working day. Charging headlong across the room he gathered clothes and headed downstairs for a shower (so as not to disturb the Silver Vixen**).
After a quick, but invigorating shower he got dressed and put on his watch. It was 07:10. He had misread the alarm. The adrenalin had been utterly wasted.
Note to self: put glasses on before reading the alarm clock.
** Silver Vixen says "Fat chance".
