Every time I have to rely on myself to get up and go to work, I invariably oversleep and show up hours late to work. It’s embarrassing and annoying. Previous times, I’ve set my cell phone alarm. Unfortunately, I must’ve done something to the setting where it will only beep once. That’s it! That’s the entire alarm. One teensy wittle beep. I can sleep through a fire alarm so the beep doesn’t even register. I oversleep. So yesterday night, I made a point of figuring out how to set the alarm clock and even setting two separate times so if one doesn’t work for whatever reason, or I don’t hear it, the second one will surely rouse me. Yeah, this morning, I got to work close to 10AM. I don’t know what went wrong. Anyway, I need to learn how to be self-sufficient enough to wake up and go to work. This is yet another minus on living alone.

What time do you get to sleep?
1-ish. I was packing and stuff.
try cranking up the volume and putting the phone further away from you. i usually wake up, grab my phone and hit some button on the side that snoozes it or silences it. or i somehow end up sleeping on it so that i barely hear it…
How about recording yourself screaming “The Fish Are Dying! The Fish Are Dying!”
Or you could get one of those old fashioned alarm clocks with the two bell thingies on top. Those are NOISY and ALARMING (haha) as all get out.
I had the AM/PM mixed up. Too many buttons on the alarm clock! Forget programming the VCR, I can’t even set the alarm clock. :p
