Our old alarm clock was dieing. It kept crackling every 5-10 seconds, even when it wasn't on, and it didn't go off one day last week, according to my wife (who has been known to sleep through her alarm, so I take that with a grain of salt). So we bought a new one. It doesn't have a CD-player like the old one, but it still has 3 alarms, with a bonus of a 7-5-2 setting, meaning I can set up each alarm, then tell it to go off 5 days a week, 2 days a week (the weekend) or every day of the week. Pretty sweet. My wife has the "nature sounds" alarm, which will go off M-F, I have the radio, which goes off M-F, then we set up the buzzer for the weekends.
The problem comes in my nervousness with new alarms. When I traveled a lot, I often woke up 10-30 minutes before my alarm, because I wasn't 100% sure the alarm would actually go off on time. Damn my accurate biological clock. I had that same problem this morning, plus a bladder that needed to be emptied. I woke up, decided I wasn't going to be able to hold my bladder, and got up. I can't see my alarm clock (no glasses or contacts on at the time), so I stopped at my cell phone and took a look. 5:17. I'm supposed to wake up at 4:45, and be out of the HOUSE at 5:15. DAMN! I decide to skip the shower (I had showered at about 2:30pm the previous day, and hadn't done anything too strenuous afterwards...I'd be fine till the next day), and I head back to my room to get my glasses and get ready for work (very, very quickly). I put my glasses on and look at the alarm clock. 4:14. What?!
Daylight savings time wasn't for another month, so wtf? I went back and looked at my cell phone. the 5:17 time was still there. Except, being more awake, I looked a little harder at it. 5:17PM, from a missed call I had yesterday, and never cleared. I cleared the missed call, and my phone read 4:14. *sigh* All that panic, because I didn't clear a missed call.
Oh well, lessons for the future!
