I had this really great dream once, if you can call it that. I'd been hitting that midnight oil pretty hard, and when my alarm clock went off early, in my half-awake state, I conceived of this fantastic notion that, if I'd just set the clock back by one hour, I could sleep for an hour more, and still get up by 7 am. Brilliant, right?
So, still in that weird and wonderful mindset somewhere half between waking and sleeping, I did just that, and closed my eyes again feeling warm and really pleased with myself for having discovered this amazing life-hack that no one even knew about. Well, I did have a really good one hour snooze, but my boss at the time didn't find this little anecdote half as amusing as I did when I showed up late for work. Oh well.
There's this annoying, unwritten rule in this universe, that if a task takes something like, say 3.000 hours of work to complete, you actually have to complete 3.000 hours of work. I know, it's really unfair and all. But contrary to what most managers believe, going "honestly, it's a bit much, innit?", and then waving your hand does not in fact complete a task as if by magic.
I was really miffed when I finally woke that day at 8 am and brutally had my time-traveling superpowers stripped away from me, and I hate to be the one to put you through the same sort of experience, buddy, but... that's just life, man. So sorry.
