Do you ever wonder what's it like to be woken up in the dead of night? I didn't, but it happened to me anyways.
So, last night I went to sleep at 12:30-ish, only to be woken up by a phone call made by my roommate, Scott, at 2:30-ish. Here follows the conversation of the evening(morning?), as I recall it. None of this is made up.
By the way, I learned that my brain has a voice of its own that early in the morning.
*RING! RING! RING!
*RING! RING! RING!
Me: Hello?
Scott: Hey Waldo, this is Scott. Sorry to wake you up, but I need your help.
Brain: Who's Scott?
Scott: I'm over at the storage unit but I locked my keys in the work van. I'm asking you if you could help me. By the fridge in the cupboard, there are the spare keys, next to them is the car alarm fob for my truck, if you could bring them to me, please? I have a spare key, but it's missing the chip and it won't start the truck.
Brain: What? How? When? Huh?
Me: OK, let me check downstairs before I hang up.
- As I walk downstairs.
Brain: There's a disconnect between me and your legs. You're on your own.
- Soon after.
Me: OK, Scott, got it! I'll be over soon.
Scott: Thanks.
- I walked outside and noticed that Nick, my other roommate had parked behind me.
Brain: You know, you could take his car.
Me: .......
(Three minute pause)
Me: It's not my car, I should just move it.
- I drive down to 63rd and Union Hills on cruise control and meet Scott, who I should point out, is shoeless.
Scott: Waldo, thanks man, I really appreciate this.
Me: Here's the key fob.
Scott: Did you get my spare keys?
Brain: No.
Me: Uhhh..
Scott: Dude, I asked you to get my spare keys!
Me: It's 3am in the MORNING! My English comprehension skills are lacking. Hahaha!
Brain: What are you doing out here?
Scott: Hahaha! Man, OK, let's see if I can remote start it and if the key will work. I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep after playing Xbox, I was just laying awake on my bed when I remembered that I have to turn in my time sheet at 8 this morning and I figured that I should just get down here real quick and get it. You know, there aren't enough Waldo's in the world.
Brain: Moron. You're missing your shoes. It's a miracle you didn't lock your head in the van too.
Me: No problem dude. I understand.
Scott: Well, let's see if she'll start up.
- The truck did start and we got home no problem.
Scott: Thank Waldo, I hope you can go back to sleep.
Brain: HAHAHAHAHAHA! I don't think he's woken up!
Me: I think I can.
