Enjoy a laugh at mister anchovy's expense
This morning, I awoke to the sound of my alarm, quickly shut it off, and slid back into unconsciousness, awaking an hour later than my usual time. I burst into action, trying to do everything at double speed. Mrs. Anchovy awoke and fed the cats (usually my job).

That's when I got that sinking feeling you get when you know you've done something unexplainably dumb. So I trundled into work and called home. Mrs. Anchovy was enjoying her cereal. I asked her to pop out front and see if her car was still there....... Luckily it was, and very thoroughly warmed up too, having been running since before I left the house......
