Yes, PJ! And to you, fine sir, in the very few times I've set an alarm clock I usually do the same. Wake just in time to reach over and turn the thing off before all mayhem breaks loose. I do remember when the Denver Post moved me to the state beat off the late night photography beat, that first morning I awoke in panic and called the ed desk. Apologized and said I'd be late. Then, wide awake, I realized I'd misread the clock so I laid back down knowing I had at least 90 minutes before I needed to wake up. Then I overslept. When I finally walked into the newsrooms the City Editor said, "White, that's the first time ever that someone called in two hours before their shift to tell me they were going to be late and then did so! Congratulations. Now, do you need an escort to find your freaking desk?"
