Ring A Ding Ding

If I were an alarm clock I would struggle to live with myself in all honesty. Not a moment would pass when the guilt I faced every morning didn't play on my mind. I'd know that there is nothing worse than being jolted out of beautiful sleep to face the harsh real world at an ungodly time.

I'd feel even worse if I had been programmed to go off with an annoying song, like the theme from Terry and June or the latest N-Dubz classic. Mind you, in that situation I wouldn't be as much to blame as you'd be. The problem is, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't blare the alarm out at a violently audible level. Have you ever tried waking up to a quite alarm? It ain't easy kids.

How about we reach a compromise? I'll play the alarm slightly quieter and you stop setting it to the theme from The A-Team. Deal? Mind you, if I were an alarm clock I wouldn't be able to make such a proposition. I'd be doomed to live my life in misery. Not too different from being human then, eh readers?
