Alarms, Alarms & More Alarms

This morning we did our class’s weekly early morning prayer (from 7:00am to 8:10am-ish) at the church (class starts at 8:30am).  So I wanted to ensure that I was able to get up early enough to have plenty of time to get ready.  I know that I have a bad habit of going through a few alarms in the morning so I had a plan.  I wanted to get up around 5:00am and we had to leave around 6:25am.  So from 5:00am to 6:17am, I set 23 alarms to go off just in case.  I wanted to get up as early as possible, with the most amount of sleep.  I tested the volume of the alarms and double-checked them before drifting off to sleep.  The next thing I knew was Daniel woke me up at about 6:12am, 21 alarms past 5:00am.  I had heard nothing from my alarms on my iPod.  As Daniel checked it out on the drive, he discovered that I had forgotten to turn on the setting that syncs the normal volume with the alarms volume, and the alarm volume was off.  So setting the 23 alarms didn’t do me any good this morning.  Thank you Daniel.
