Mmm, I know that feeling, I do it every morning, with 'snooze' button otherwise I would just sleep for another hour at least. That and my phone (which acts as my alarm clock) has a 'custom alarm message' feature so when it goes of and I try to turn it off it tells me to 'Get the hell up now, bitch!', which always makes me smile first thing in the morning, which I hardly ever would on a work day otherwise.gpackin wrote:Today I learned that when your alarm clock goes off it is impossible to turn it off and say "I'll just lie here for a few minutes, then I"ll get up" without actually falling back asleep.

His downstairs neighbor let me use his phone to call Jeff, then DROVE me out to Jeff's dad's place, waited while I picked up the keys, then drove me back downtown AND gave me bus fare to get back to Jeff's from there. TOTALLY sweet guy! I was so grateful, I probably would have washed his skivvies for him if he had asked.

).I've long since learned to keep not one, but at least two sets of spare keys within easy access of wherever I need to get into ... and also with a friendly neighbor. Get a pair of magnetic key holders, make spare keys to your house and car, wrap them in bits of paper towel (so they dont rattle) and put them in their holders, and then stick the holders to something metallic that's out of sight, non-intuitive, and awkward to reach. Do NOT mark the keys indicating either your name or address or key purpose.spiphany wrote:I locked myself out of the house as well today. And of course my roommate won't be home until Monday evening. The neighbor across the street apparently has a spare key, so I hope he's around this evening or I'm going to have to get creative...
