Yeah, gradually-increasing light isn't going to wake me up at a given time unless it's bright enough to give me a tan like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I don't have any problem waking up. I have a problem with making a commitment to staying awake.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I do wake up whenever the sun comes up unless I have good shades to block it. That pillow might be jut what I need.
Or it might give me nightmares that I am sleeping on a radioactive mushroom.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's a problem, actually. Having to be quiet in the morning makes me sleepy.
This is me. Luckily, I can have NPR on if it's not above, what you might hear coming out of someone's headphones from a seat away.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Xposted with Bitches, after discussing with Andi, not everyone here is also there and vice-versa :
I was catching up on my reading of eWeek, and lo and behold who should show up but our own Jilli.
It was a brief article covering the Microspotting blog.
A petticoat- and top-hat-wearing Goth was another Microspotted employee, also not the image presented by "PC guy."From the interview, readers learn that not only does this Technical Editor on the Dev Div team write an online advice and etiquette column for Goths, she often finds herself doing the same for Microsoft employees who have questions about her subculture.
"Every team I’ve been on, I’ll get someone who wanders into my office and says, 'So, my kid’s getting into this wearing all black kinda thing, listening to weird music … can I bring them into to talk to you?' And I’m always like, 'Sure! I’m happy to explain that you can still be a freak and a gainfully employed grown-up,'" Jilli** V***** told Microspotting.
(real name removed by me)
I give no comment on the article itself, just "Buffistas! in unexpected places!"

No, I'm pretty sure "a" is correct.
