Down By Five
Something happened to my alarm clock. I'm not sure when it happened. And I certainly don't know how it happened. But it did.
I lost five minutes of snooze time.
My alarm clock has always snoozed for nine minutes. There is not button or function that I can see anywhere on this evil device that allows the user to set the snooze length. Time zone, yes. Display brightness, check. No snooze length, nope.
But nonetheless, it now only snoozes for four minutes. And that's not really a snooze at all. That's more like a doze, or perhaps a mild nodding-off.
Anything under 6 minutes & 30 seconds is just an annoying tease as far as I'm concerned.
So until I get some time to delve into the "Jenglish" owner's manual, printed in seven languages on super-transparent phone book paper with a font so tiny that only a gnat could read it without magnification, I will continue hitting my new four-minute snooze nine times, instead of my old schedule of hitting the nine-minute snooze four times.
And I'll probably be crabby.

You do sound a little crabby. How about go to bed 25 minutes earlier and skip the snooze?? ( I should talk!)
