Damn Alarm Clock!
There is a buzzing. A loud buzzing. It's near by and annoying. You must
make the buzzing stop. Why won't the buzzing stop?! You hate the
buzzing. You must kill the buzzing!
You roll over and smack the alarm clock. The buzzing continues. You try
again, this time your aim is much improved. The satisfying crunch of
plastic has certainly shortened the life of the clock, but at least the
buzzing has stopped.
You roll back into a sitting position. It slowly dawns on you; you are
Jason Brown. Your friends call you Jericho. You are balding and over
weight and perpetually broke. It's a bright and warm Monday morning.
Ugh!
You have a job but you have always hated work. You are a lazy bum who
would rather do just about anything over an honest day's work. There
have been times in your life where you have worked very hard to avoid
going to work. Oh, yeah, you aren't too bright some times.
Stephanie, your wife, is already up and around. You can hear her
playing with the cats in the other room. She is much more of a morning
person than you will ever be. Half the reason that you actually go to
work is that you love your wife and you don't want to disappoint her.
But, hey, you are comfortable in bed. You have been working pretty hard
recently, maybe it's time to take a break. Take some time to stop and
smell the roses. What do you do?
