    TMW when you fall asleep after your last lecture, wake up, look at the clock and see "1:24", have a mini heart attack before closer inspection reveals it actually says "7:24".

    TMW you fall asleep after your second to last lecture only to wake up with classroom full of students staring at you and giggling.

    That's the worst. My favorite is when I wake up, look at my phone, and see I have like 11 minutes before my alarm goes off. Now, if I wake up at 7:30 and the alarm is set for 9:00, it's all good... I've got another 90 mins to sleep. But when the inevitable is imminent, it's like I have an extra 11 minutes to contemplate how much lucidity sucks, whereas if I just awoke to the alarm I'd already be out of bed and dealing with it.

    That moment when you are 5 minutes away from work, a winter storm is coming through..... and you slide out of control, spinning out on the highway and hit the steel barricade facing oncoming traffic.

    I SURVIVED MY FIRST CAR ACCIDENT, YALL!

    Senior year of high school, there was this girl who ALWAYS fell asleep in math class. One day, our teacher was lecturing and wrote on the board "everyone get up quietly and leave!" so we all went into the hallway while she slept and had class out there until the bell rang. she FREAKED OUT when she woke up! it was TOO funny!

    TMW you step on a patch of snow, thinking it was all snow, only to find yourself landing flat on your ass as the ice beneath laughs maniacally.

    I'm gonna gloat for a moment:

    Yay for retirement! My favorite is when I wake up, look at my watch, don't care what it says, look outside and see heaps of fresh snow everywhere, turn on the TV news and hear them all talking about how horrible the driving conditions are and how we should all stay home if we can... and I can, so I just turn over and go back to sleep. No responsibilities! :D

    That Moment When.... you kill an enemy secondhanded in Breath of the Wild.

    the most vital armor to get is the Rubber Suit.... it makes you immune to electric, and during thundrstorms it is a life saver since metal weapons and shields draw lightning. Which sucks for you, but with the rubber suit, it sucks for the baddies. :p .

    Someone once told me of how they as a kid jumped onto what they thought was a snowbank but turned out to be a pile of frozen earth with about an inch of snow covering it.

    I give it two. One year to rest, and one year of bitching about how the restaurant biz has gone downhill in the past year and how the new kids don't know how to run a joint. :D

    You'll die without the rush, Homes. Better take up skydiving or test drive trebuchets or something.

    Oh. I think retirement is prime writing time. Also songwriting and recording time. And playing with radio electronics time (I'll become a ham one day, I'm telling you!). And doing whatever else you've always wanted to do time.

    Including turning over and going back to sleep, if the mood takes you.

    I'll be impoverished and bored out of my skull, but thanks to climate change, there won't even be an ice floe to leave me on, my relatives will have to push me straight into the drink. Given how well my family functions, there might be some sort of raffle for the privilege though, so that's nice.

    I just keep a stash of ancient weapons to swap out to. Though largely I've been hunting koroks and taluses in the Hebra region, so lightening storms haven't been an issue.

    Every time you get attacked by the Yiga they drop a bunch and I never really used them for anything. I've also been playing for... ever.

    That moment when you take old dinner rolls and make half assed pepperoni rolls on a whim. ..then cant find the oven mitt to pull them out and have to rush around for a towel.

    Guess we need to organize the kitchen.
