My alarm clock

charameiWhat did I ever do to it?
It's about twenty years old now: I've had it since I was four or five. And last night it finally broke.
I've been having trouble turning it off for a while: the alarm unset button kept sticking. Last night, my lovely old alarm clock went off at 1:30 am (despite being set for 6:30), and wouldn't shut off at all. I ended up switching it off at the plug and getting my phone.
Good news: because of this, I still had an alarm to wake me up at 6:30. No accidental lie-ins, no missed work. And despite the interruption, I slept surprisingly well.
Bad news: I liked that clock :(
