It's just easier by myself

So, two weird things involving sleeping. First, had a funny dream. We called some computer repair guy or something (to fix Janelle's optical drive?), and he shows up, and walks in and sits at the kitchen table, starts to give his little speech - "Hi, my name's (something), I'll be doing this, this, and this, and I'm a little high right now." Mom and I looked at each other in disbelief, and she shook her head, and I said "No, it's not okay." Then he gets all weird - "Don't get all bent out of shape, man! Chill out." and the like. I tell him he needs to just leave, has his company send someone else. He starts copping a major 'tude, saying that there's nothing wrong with him, that what am I going to do, call his boss?

So I do.

And he gets in serious trouble, gets yelled at over the phone, stuff like that. Good times.

Second, my alarm went off at eight, really high pitched, woke me up. I was flailing around, trying to turn it off. But I didn't know how. I turned the speakers on my computer off, shook them around, threw the mug on my desk onto the floor, nothing seemed to work. Finally, I made my way over to the alarm, started shaking it, pressing random buttons on it. (There is a button on it whose function is 'turn the alarm off'. I couldn't find it. Eventually, I just turned the thing off entirely (for future alarms, too). Took a good five minutes or so. Turned it back on, so I'll wake up tomorrow as well, but I feel sorry for anyone else that heard it.
