You Don't Say (No, Really)
Jan. 11th, 2008 05:54 am
I was so thoroughly asleep that I dreamed I got up and turned the alarm off.
My alarm is a loud, indescribably unpleasant, continuous single tone that takes about ten minutes to run down. There is no snooze button. (Welcome to 1985). Those don't work for me, anyway.
I once tore a fancy digital snoozy clock out of the wall so hard that the cord snapped. I was slightly irritated by the snooze function and its tendency to recur.
Anyway. This morning, according to the clock, it took about six minutes for me to realize that I was still dreaming.
Last year I was so sleep-deprived that I could easily ignore the thing, until "this one time", when it finally woke up my Stepdad from across the hall--with the door shut.
I was not and am not exaggerating when I say it's loud.
I suppose I should be Mary Sunshine and note that at least it's proof I slept deeply.
Also. Could someone please advise the general population that correcting someone is not an acceptable way to say hello? It's possibly the single rudest greeting that there is. It is offensive and vile and does not make one think highly of the perpetrator. At least flat insults are earnest and make the giver dirty-faced first.
