Of Spears And Snoozles


For those of you following the drama of my interrupted sleep cycles, the mystery of the shrinking snooze interval has been solved. Seems there is an obscure series of button-pushes that will change the snooze time on my alarm clock. This little gem was hidden deep in the furrowed cracks of the most badly-written owner's manual you're ever likely to come across.

Now my snooze snoozles along at a more respectable ten minutes. Another modern-day pestilence mitigated. Those Neanderthals of ages past never knew how easy that had it, hunting mammoths with wooden spears is nothing compared to doing battle with a scrappy RCA alarm clock.

Now all you need to do is pad the top of your alarm clock with a little shock absorbing foam. By 2 pm your hand would be pretty bruised from all the button pounding every nine minutes.

I wish...but the evil thing shuts the snooze off altogether in a half hour.
