LOLZ! I have to admit I've not done that, but I can remember, especially as a kid, waking up thinking it was a Saturday and unfortunately, it wasn't.

I've also woke up within the past year occasionally, thinking it was another day of the week rather than the one it was, but it didn't impact me being late to work, or say going to church on the wrong day.

When it's close to time for vacation or a couple of days off, I call it 'short timers', for your head just isn't in the game anymore, but off on some mystical journey you've been anticipating.

I'm glad your workplace was understanding. I hope you do enjoy your time off! Take care and have a lovely day!
