Last year I was bringing one of my friends to SigEp's formal as a date for one of GPBoy's brothers, since he had no game and knew no girls. I had to drive to Madison (about an hour away) to pick her up, then drive back to Platteville, where she was going to sleep (she had Relay for Life the night before) and then I was going to go to Dubuque with one of the other Gamma Phis to get our hair/nails/etc done.
I had a nightmare that week that I was going to sleep through my alarm and miss picking her up and ruin Lee's senior banquet. I had three alarm clocks set! My cell phone goes off at 6 a.m. I turn it off. My Palm goes off at 6:15. I turn it off. I'm supposed to hear my real alarm go off at 6:30, and it never did...I woke up at 7:30, when I was supposed to be IN MADISON at 8. I have never showered and driven so fast in my life.
We ended up only being able to get our hair done, but we did get the joy of running into Lee and his family (who never liked me) in the mall in DBQ while we waited for our hair appointments, while I was looking quite charming in sweats and a very very tired face.
I have another alarm clock story relating to Daylight Savings Time, but it is not board appropriate.
