Just Another Normal Quirky Day

Waking up early it was the usual work day pushed my alarm clock to off early so it wouldn't play just out of the shower I heard the repetitive beeping sound of the alarm clock taunting me as I made my routine rounds Tossing my body across the wide expansion of my bed I pushed the alarm clocks button hard until the annoying sound was dead then I plugged my cell phone in the familiar wall outlet way later fully charged I left for work for the day Entering the warehouse hallway I stood at the face clock adjusting my looks 10 times because it recognized me not another coworker came in and I let them go ahead wondering why on their first try their facial recognition was read Standing there feeling like a fool staring into the facial clock it kept denying me so many times I wanted to give it a pop when suddenly on the 21st try it finally recognized me wondering why there was a problem as I had no plastic surgery Two hours later I went to the break room got my cell phone out of my locker not a moment too soon noticed right away it hardly had any charge left quickly making a call before it went completely dead Trying the new restroom out was quite an experience the self flushing toilet flushing constantly didn't make any sense I thought this toilet was supposed to be economical instead as I watched it continually flush thought it pretty comical Driving home I thought well at least my car is competent as I enjoyed the air conditioning blowing out of the vents pulling up into my driveway I just about hit my quirky cat who thinks hes a dog by the way if you can imagine that. 6-30-18

Cheryl, there is authentic charm in the relaxed, down-to-earth way you describe your day. I got a smile out of your encounters with technology (I can identify w/ your experiences), and I think your concluding line is purrfect. Hugs, Paul
