Hey Josh I am so sorry for making stupid assumptions…….My brain just wasn’t functioning at all. I hope you didn’t get offended by what I said. Again, I am so sorry

I'm actually pretty amused by this.

i worked at a boyscout camp for two weeks. i lived in this canvas tent and slept on a cot. had the whole place to myself. the other kitchen workers all lived right next to me.

i had this alarm clock that ran on batteries, because, you know, no electricity. the only thing it would play is the weather report read by that creepy monotone guy. the one that reports how high the seas are too if you have ever heard that. it is pretty scary to be honest.

anyways, i could never figure out how to turn the darn thing off. it just would go on long snoozes. the only way i could get it to go off was to take out the batteries.

i would come back to my tent after my shift and there would be several wawa crates inside it. my tent neighbors, thinking i was inside, would throw them at my tent in hopes that would get me to turn it off. but i was never there.

anyways, dont buy that alarm clock if you are looking for a replacement.

Just cleaned my mouse and almost puked

that seemed more interesting before I typed it out

I bought the Sony ICF-C218W a few years ago and it has served me well since. Has an internal battery to keep time through outages and automagically does daylight savings time, too. Use the amazon link if you aren't a terrible person.

yeah fuck them though. i was responsible for unloading the dishwasher and the ass loading it would just push all the racks through. nothing would get clean and i couldnt unload and put away everything fast enough. he would get pissed and throw plates at me.

for two plus weeks i ate nothing but nature valley bars. it was awful.

boy scouts or burning man

Apparently the word is they want you to call back and it charges an exorbitant amount of money to put a call through to them
