This is a hypothetical quiz, of course.

Q: What happens if you decide to stay up late catching up on the recorded episodes of Person Of Interest?

A: You get a great deal of enjoyment, no sleep … and gain five pounds from snacks munched during said POI-athon.

Q: After sleeping a mere three hours how tired might someone (me) be?

A: Exceeeeeedingly tired.

Q: Upon learning that one’s Mother has been rushed to the hospital (two hours away) and one is exceeeedingly tired, how well might a person pack a suitcase or two?

A: Surprisingly functional. It is my Mom, after all.

Q: What happens … After not sleeping much, waking up exceeeeedingly tired, learning your Mother has been rushed to the hospital … then jamming unknown clothing into suitcases … and driving two hours to said Mothers hospital bedside … and running interference with Doctors, Nurses, Staff, etc. the person drives to their parents new apartment complex.

THEN let’s assume that this person (me) walks into the complex … with two suitcases, one make up bag, one computer bag and one purse gets into the elevator.

AND pushes the Floor button.

What happens?

A: Well I can’t vouch for what anyone ELSE might have happen.

But in MY case, I set off the Fire Alarm by accident.

Yes. I. Did.

And took a good minute or so to figure out how to turn it off.

Yeah. I didn’t know either.

Really, really loud.
