How to: Blow a Book-Seller’s Mind

May 8th, 2007 · Posted in DIY, Jokage · 12 Comments

Apparently, all it takes is to order the children’s version of the new Harry Potter. Took the guy at the desk five minutes (and three times, “are you sure?”) to figure out that, yes, I do in fact want the children’s version, and not the adult* version.

A Two-Step Plan For Arriving On Time

Step 1: Set your alarm for when you need to get up.
Not 
for ten or twenty minutes earlier or later, but the actual time that you need to get up in order to get where you need to be. Figure out how long it takes you to dress/eat/travel, and subtract that time from the time you are due. Set your alarm for this time.

Step 2: Get up when you alarm goes off.
Yes, right when it goes off. Don’t hit snooze, don’t lie in bed. Just get up and get moving. Then you will get to your destination on time.
