i have to have a drink with me 99% of the time. i seem to panic if i don't have a drink handy - maybe i'm afraid of dying of dehydration? i usually carry a bottle of water around with me and usually also have a bottle or can of diet mountain dew.
before i go to bed, i have to have a glass of water on my nightstand. and earlier this week, sure enough, i reached for my eyeglasses on my nightstand and knocked over my full glass of water. i didn't think much of it - its water; its not going to stain my carpet.
the next morning, i woke up to my alarm clock flashing. thankfully i also always set an alarm to go off on each of my cell phones (booty call phone and non-booty call phone, if you will). needless to say, i did not oversleep. however, the alarm clock was apparently flooded. i unplugged it in the hope of not setting the apartment on fire.
i left it unplugged for two days but then plugged it in yesterday morning. it showed the correct time! when i got home yesterday evening, i heard a quiet, weird, almost beeping sound. i walked around my tiny apartment trying to locate the noise. and then i saw my alarm clock flashing again. i unplugged it again.
i just got home and plugged it in. it flashed "12:00" until i pressed all the buttons and figured out how to actually set the time. it worked! then i set the alarm for 6:30 a.m. tomorrow. it worked! then i went back to typing on my other computer.
and then i heard that stupid beeping sound again. i looked over, and sure enough, the stupid clock was flashing "12:00". i give up. i unplugged it and will go buy a new clock this weekend. or next weekend. or never.
