I'm an Idiot

2-26-08
So I have this clock. It is Eagle Creek and displays
the time, date and temperature. It is also an alarm
clock – my reason for buying it. It is small and
compact and perfect for home or traveling. The alarm
beeps. Not too loud and not too annoying, but just
right – like baby bear.
The only problem? It was doing this thing. For the
longest time, every day at 10:10 am a different alarm
would go off. It was different from the beeping
alarm. It was 9 beeps and sounded like some kind of
fanfare. I looked everywhere on this little clock to
find out how to stop it and in the end gave up. It
was bad if I slept past ten anyway.
The strangest part was that it kind of sounded like
this fanfarish alarm was coming from the clock, but
kind of not really. I told my friends about this
weird phenomenon and got a standard reaction from all.
"Huh. That's weird." Yes, they were riveting with
my mystery.
Then yesterday night happened. Past 3 am the fanfare
alarm started going off. I woke up thinking WTF when
I looked over to my desk. Something was glowing. My
alarm clock was near my bed. Ohhhhhh…It only took me
11 months to figure it out. My ipod also has an
alarm. I had just changed the clock to Kyiv time
early in the day. Why am I admitting this?
