Well I hope its all taken in good fun.

So what had you up and on the .Org at 5 in the AM?

Coffee and the morning news! :laugh:

It's my best time of the day. It's quiet and I get tons of stuff accomplished.

Trust me when I tell you it's NOT an alarm clock!

The alarm clock is the only thing that gets me up in the morning. And it took me a long time to get the perfect setup.

1.
Next to the bed I have "the warning shot" It goes off at :45 after the hour, letting me know, wake up "***ker, night's over!"

I can, A) Smash the buttons until the noise stops (resumes in 9 minutes), or B) Wake up enough to actually find the CANCEL button (mission accomplished, I'm awake.)

2.
If step ONE fails, I have the Second alarm across the room, which goes off on the hour. So even if I manage to kill the first alarm TWICE, this one still requires me to get up and walk across the room. (mission accomplished, I'm awake.)

3.
If ONE and TWO fail, at :02 after the hour, the alarm in the bathroom (which WILL wake up the entire house) goes off. So IF step 2 got me awake, I KNOW I have to walk to the bathroom to save the house from rude awakening. If I manage to sleep walk to STEP 2 and turn around to go back to bed THREE kicks me in the butt and I have to sprint to the bathroom to kill the noise.

Now I'm awake, have adrenaline running, and if I turn around, THERE'S THE SHOWER, convenient huh?

4.
Now the SECRET to being on time at this point, as I sleep/stand in the shower is that alarm number 1 has a second timer to go off at :15 after the hour, so I know that IF I'm not OUT of the shower by then I AGAIN wake up the others.

And thus, I haven't been late to work in the last 2 weeks :thumbsup:

Wow! I'm sure you don't have this "issue" when we're meeting for our typical pre-ride breakfast!!!
:rofl:
 
Sounds like it takes a 4 Alarm Fire to get your azz out of bed :rofl:

Its a "survival" technique I picked up in the dorms my freshman year of college.

When your entire wing of the dorm is up til 4am every night and you have an 8 o'clock class you learn how to sleep through ANYTHING.

I'm sure if a FIRE ALARM went off, its entirely possible I would sleep walk to the source of the noise, disarm it, and sleepwalk back to bed :laugh:

I need me my sleep :lol:
