Whaty a wretched life I lead!

I like to pretend that I can get ready in ten minutes. I actually posted my morning routine a couple weeks ago- here's a copy of the post:

My Morning Routine:

5:30+: Alarm goes off. No matter when I set it to go off (unless it's a day when I'm waking up early to finish a paper), I press snooze repeatedly until 6:35 or so.
6:36: I crawl out of bed and check my e-mail and read the daily comic at www.sluggy.com.
6:40: I start to slowly realize that I have ten minutes to get ready and out of the house at this point, and I start rummaging around for clothes. Hopefully, I have some, because I never really check the night before. I say hi to the cats and reread a few old comics from one of my comic books.
6:45: At around this time, I'm getting in the shower. I keep my showers so hot that I can barely stand them. I continue to read my comic book while soaping up (all my comic books have significant water damage). My total shower takes about 5 minutes.
6:51: I'm one minute late and getting out of the shower. I turn on an audio book on the radio in the kitchen, then panic and throw my clothes on. If I have to shave, I'm screwed. If possible, I skip it. Skipping cleaning my ears is NOT an option, though, because that drives me nuts.
6:54: I abort all unfinished personal hygiene and run into the kitchen barefooted. I grab whatever is around to eat in the kitchen- usually food I can just grab and stuff into a shopping bag. I try to pour a drink into a container to bring with me, but I often just grab a whole jug of water and drink it in the car. I grab something for breakfast. Sometimes, I just grab a couple slices of raisin bread and eat them in the car as is. More challenging/interesting car breakfasts: A cup of yogurt with no spoon, canned salmon mixed in a bowl with mayo and intended for sandwiches, whole roasted chicken leftovers, and cereal straight out of the box.
6:59: I calculate miracle scenarios where I could still somehow make it to work on time while desperately trying to find my keys. I turn off the audio book, which I wasn't listening to anyways.
7:02: I run out to the car with my stop and shop bag of random food and my sock and shoes in hand. I put my socks and shoes on and eat while driving to work.
7:38: Average work arrival time for 7:30 deadline.
