Waking up is very difficult for me, because I've let myself think that it's ok to not be there "on time." I don't have a set time though, so Aeryn's situation might be significantly different. But anyway, once I let myself get away with hitting snooze repeatedly, it becomes something that's difficult to unlearn. And it's occasionally upsetting.

With friends and things in the evening, I almost NEVER get out of work on time, so I'm perpetually apologizing for being late. It's not at all out of spite or dismissal - it's some sort of stupid job loyalty that messes me up when I should just say "fuck it, I'm leaving now." But again, once it starts happening, it's harder to put a stop to it.
