Monday Morning Blues

So you rollover and switch off the alarm. It 6.40 which means you have pressed snooze twice already. You convince yourself its not Sunday morning and head for the shower. You know you are late so you rush around to make up time. You wish you had a three day weekend. As you are late you walk briskly to the bus stop. And 50 meters away you see the bus approaching. You start running praying that someone at the bus stop flags down the bus. The bus stops and you just about make it. You seat down and start sweating but you are not too bothered. You get off at the trains station and hear your train rolling in. You start running again. There is an unusual number of people standing outside the station but you pay no attention and touch your oyster card through. You quickly pick up the metro and head for the nearest carriage. The information display says listen for announcements so you are not sure whether this is your train.There are no announcements. The doors start closing so you jump in. It must be my train because its on time. You take a seat and start reading the paper. You'll tell whether you are on the right train at the next station. The next station is your regular stop so you lean back and start digesting today's news through the metro. You get to the 2nd station. Its also your regular station so you continue reading. Then there is the annoucement by the driver. "This is the train to Cannon street calling at all stations. You rest easy you've made it. You got the right train. At the fourth station you hear the annoucement "This is the train to Cannon street calling at all stations via Blackheath and Lewisham". Your train doesn't go to Blackheath or Lewisham. It goes to Greenwich where you change to the DLR. You slowly start panicking. Should you get off at the next station or this one? Should you stay on? You need the DLR so Lewisham would do. You stay on. Suddenly the internal display in the train starts working. Apparently you are on the 77 to Cannon Street. But you know you needed the 81 to Cannon street. However you also know the 77 doesn't go via Plumstead so what train are you on? You cant be bothered to think. Lewisham station looms in sight. You get off and take the DLR. You are now heading the direction you just came. Your Mp3 player beeps. Low battery. You finally get to the office and get your papers ready for the 9 o'clock meeting. You realise you've left the papers you spent all weekend doing at home. You've got the monday morning blues
