you wake up to the familiar sound of an alarm clock ... [yawnnn] ... roll over on your right side and ... no clock ..... huh ... okay, roll over to the other side ... there it is .... wait, you can’t find SNOOZE ... okay, it’s off .. slowly open your eyes ... what the?! .... why is there so much sunlight? you live in a basement apartment! ... oh wait, “Montréal, I’m in Montréal today ...” slowly get up and walk towards the ... hold on, where did the washroom go?! oh, it’s on the other side of the room ... [yaawwwnnnn] .... shower, dress ... open the door and ... which way do I go to get to work!?

sometimes I hate living in hotels five days a week ... all the rooms look alike, except some are complete opposites .... THEN you have to figure out which way the elevator is when you leave the room!
