Late! Late! For a very important Date! Well, work, anyway!

Oh no! I was late this morning! How the heck did that happen?? On my Droid 3 (smartphone, and also the only alarm clock I have) I can have as many alarms set up as I want, and one of mine is a persistent alarm that goes off at 8:30am every Mon, Tues, and Wed (the days I work) and doesn't go off the rest of the days. There is no reason to ever turn

On my DROID I always have two alarms set each time I have to work, staggered so the snooze feature doesn't make it so I can't hear the second alarm. And then I triple check before I ago to bed. I had one week I was late two days in a row before I implemented that. I also have the alarm clock from my childhood set to go off at a time in between the other alarms. For example if I have to be at work at 6the I have my alarm clock set for 5:07, one alarm (titled work at 6) set at 5, and the other (titled work at 6 backup) set at 5:11. My phone has a 5 minute snooze and my alarm clock has a 9 minute snooze. I'm glad you had the vacation time to cover.

I also stayed 30 minutes late today to offset what I need to take from vacation. I'm pretty sure I'll only need to grab an hour of v-time.

Staggered alarms is a good idea and an excellent safeguard. I think I'll do that.
