It was only when i turned up at work and saw the doors were locked and realised the sun had started to come up that i realised my mistake.

Like i said i didn't really hurt anything except for maybe my pride when my boss asked me about a strange message they had recieved at 6 oclock in the morning.

I did a similar thing
set the alarm on the mobile phone for 7.30am

but got one of those junk texts about 2.30am while asleep
assumed the noise was the alarm and was dressed and halfway out to the car
before I noticed tell tell things like the moon and stars and a couple of clocks all agreeing on the 2.30am timeslot

had to go back to bed and lay there foolishly for a few more hours

I did not sleep that wll as i was sort of on guard for more junk texts and keeping a sort of ear out for the real alarm
