Fucked Economy Lesson #2: Time equals money

Times are tough.  Fox news told me so.  And poor people often say you can have all the money in the world but you can't get more time.  Well I think those people are fucking liars.  So check this peeps...

I've had the same alarm clock for 17 years.  No shit...it even has a place for audio cassettes that you can wake to.  Over the years I have mastered the one-hand blind alarm slap to buy me an extra 7 minutes of snooze time.  I heart the snooze...it is my only AM friend besides coffee and porn.

But alas it has seen better days so off to Exxon for a new one.  So this new clock, all the bells and whistles, including AM AND FM radio and a dimmer for the light.  It's like mood lighting in a pinch.  But most notably this clock has a FIVE minute snooze alarm.  Unfortunately, I cannot shake my pattern of hitting the snooze 7 times each morning.  So now, instead of 49 minutes of snooze, i'm banking 35 minutes of snooze.  And you won't believe this... I FEEL the same as I did before.  Just as refreshed.

So meet me over at the math chalk board.  14 minutes a day saved, times 5 days a week, times 52 weeks a year.  Presto!  I just bought your ass another TWO AND HALF DAYS A YEAR for FREE!  Where's your 3conomics now Wendy's??  

You're welcome faithful readers.
