Journal jeepliberty's Journal: Watch Me
My watch kept me prompt despite my chronic history of tardiness. I always set it 10 minutes fast. And the alarms were set at 5 minute intervals 6:05, 6:10, 6:15, 6:20 and one for 6:45 (Too late to shower, get you ass moving!)
I was in my hotel room Thursday night, on a business trip. I awoke around 2am an noticed a light on the bed stand. I thought it was from a street light shining through the curtain. It wasn't. It the light from my watch. It was glowing and the LED display was blank. No buttons worked. I had changed the battery about 6 months ago so I didn't think it was the battery. I thought a cold boot may put make it operational, but I didn't have the a jeweler's screwdriver to open it.
I mentioned it in passing at the morning customer briefing and
someone produced a set of precision screwdrivers. I opened it and removed
the battery. After restarting, the light stayed off and the LED display came alive.
I closed it up, then and discovered a small spring had dropped out. It was the
size of a broken tip of a
I reopened the watch and couldn't find a place for it. I decided to wrap it up in a piece of paper. It fell out and either went into a SUN keyboard or onto the computer floor. It was lost.
I didn't care I had a functional watch again. I set the time (10 minutes fast) and life continued.
That evening I set five alarms. Then I noticed something weird. The watch used to beep when any of the buttons was depressed. Now, only silence. Then it hit me. If it didn't beep for buttons it may not beep-beep for alarms. I test the count down time at 1 minute. My watch was mute.
Yesterday I was watch shopping in Walmart. Watch options now include things like a full numeric keypad, IR TV remote control, and GPS. None had as many as 3 alarms. None could be called chili. My search continues.
