Vibrations

This actually happened early this morning at about 2am:

J: wakes up to vibrating sound and hits the alarm clock snooze button. vibrating stops. goes back to sleep.
L: sleeping away.
J: wakes up again to vibrating sound and hits the alarm clock snooze button. vibrating stops. goes back to sleep.
L: sleeping away.
J: wakes up again to vibrating sound and turns the alarm clock off. vibrating stops. goes back to sleep.
L: What in the world are you doing?
J: Trying to figure out what was vibrating. It was my alarm clock. I fixed it.
L: Does your alarm clock vibrate?
J: No, but it was this time. Maybe it's about to blow up or something.
L: Okay.
J: wakes up again to vibrating sound. unplugs the entire alarm clock and throws it into a pile of pillows. goes back to sleep.
L: sleeping away.
J: wakes up again to vibrating sound. check phone...it's not vibrating either. wakes up Landon for help figuring out what is vibrating.
L: Have you checked your emergency pager? Maybe you left it on vibrate.

Duh. Please do not page me with an emergency in the middle of the night. I think I am losing it. Sure enough, I had received a page from the hospital and it took me 30 minutes to figure out that it was my pager going off and not my alarm clock (which, by the way, does not have a vibrate function). Keep in mind that middle of the night pages happen often, so I should have known what was happening immediately.

In spite of this, please trust me with your medical care. I'm completely competent. :)

This makes me laugh! Pretty sure I would not be qualified to answer any medical questions in the middle of the night.
