Crazy About Glue

I just found my stash of glue...I didn't realize I've been hoarding them (LOL)...

Wake Me Up Inside

My mobile phone's alarm clock let me down last New Year's Eve. I was supposed to wake up at around 9:00 PM to prepare for my 11:00 PM shift but I woke up 20 minutes past 11:00 PM. I immediately sent a text message to my supervisor that I was going to be late. It turned out my alarm tone was not as loud as it used to be. It was hard to fix the issue because my phone does not have volume adjustment for alarm settings. I tried testing the alarm while in the taxi on the way to work but my phone only produced a faint sound. So, I did the necessary troubleshooting steps. During the 20-minute ride, I performed second level reset, backed up my contacts and data, and performed a master reset to no avail. Dang!!! What a way to start the new year, late for work...

I roped my sister into waking me up at night every time I would have a shift. There were times though that my sister would forget to wake me up or was just confused by my erratic work hours. I finally gave in and bought a traditional wind-up spring-driven alarm clock. It would produce a ringing sound so loud, I could not snooze even for a few minutes.
