bad ass alarms

These days I’m theoretically working on revising my paper for resubmission and in reality getting ready for a big motorcycle ride. Came across this in the Aerostich motorcycle gear catalog and thought I’d share:

Screaming Meanie / Beekin

Instruments of Satan. Nobody needs to wake up this badly. They?ll truly raise the dead…and everyone else who?s trying to get shuteye anywhere in the vicinity. Including the unsuspecting folks in the next motel room right thru the wall. Developed for six-days-on-the-road exhausted truckers and then adopted by crazed Ironbutt competitors, this is the most sadistically loud alarm clock you?ll ever regret setting. Both the Meanie and Beekin models run on a standard 9v battery, and have easy-to read LCD time displays. The Meanie has a manual red LED night light and the Beekin has an always-on Indiglow display plus three selectable volume settings (addled, painful and suicidal). Do not buy either…Help the world remain a quieter and more peaceful place.

It must be nice to be blessed so you can condem others who are not as fortunate as yourself. I take medications that as a teenager, the age I had to start taking them, required me to relearn when get up to get up in the middle of the night to avoid accidents they still cause me to sleep thru the loudest regular alarm clock I have heard on the market loud alarm peroidicly fortunatly they is another reson for me to have a service dog so when my alarm goes of a 100 lb lab jumps into my bed to be sure I heard the alarm that I missed a few times before I got him. Would you suggest that they lady that I work with that is leagally deaf miss work because without her hearing aids she is legally deaf. Or would you rather pay her at the wages you make for not working because she cannot hear the alarm all the time eventhough she is a rather light sleeper.

I take 5 medications that warn may cause drowsyness do not drink or drive until you know how this medicine affects you. It must be nice to be blessed and condem those less fortunate than yourself I also work with a deaf person “legally” deaf she would never be at work without something like this she does not quallify for a hearing dog as far as I know since with her hearing aids she is functional, but would loose her job during the two plus year wait to get a hearing dig if they even consinered her a high enough priority since there are people that really must have service dogs to function in their daily life and they are the ones that tend to wait for over a year to get a dog. MY LAB jumps in my bed in the morning to make sure I heard the alarm as well as other tasks when he is not around I nead my Beacon sometimes set on wake the dead level if it is a night I don’t sleep well or would you rather we raise your taxes and pay our wages from them we would rather work.
