Well I got in late today, and that is to be expected. This new wake up
call service is so bland. Peety made my wake-up calls last and actually
made sure I got up. Today I pickup the phone, listen to "Happy Days" and
fall back asleep. I think over the years the wakeup calls had a format.
It started off with me answering the phone going "hhhheeellllooo"zzzzzz.
Then Peety would be like,"Wake Up" then I would hit the conversation
snooze by saying "What did you do."zzzzz.  Which was basically asking
the question of what did you do the other day. So he would go into a
couple of minutes of talking and allow me to sleep some more. He knew
what I was doing. After that he would reverse it and ask me "What did
you do." So I would have to wake up a little to talk.  Then I would go
into the second stage of grief about waking up "anger" and start with
the movie quotes. "Sure say for wonka, cost him a fortune in fudge."
When I was really tired I would just say "fudge". Or "I don't want to go
to school, I want to stay home and bake cookies with you." or just the
word "cookies" if I was really tired. At the end of the call he would
know whether I was away and sometimes said," get up and put your legs
out of bed." Sometimes if I was still mumbling he would call 5 minutes
later to see if I was still asleep. I guess I should record Peety saying
those things and have that in my wakeup call. Hmm, that just might work,
except when I ask the question "what did you do" he will always be doing
the same thing.
