I’ve been work­ing on a pol­icy of aim for get­ting to work at 9a but based on my abil­ity to wake up that’s been trans­lat­ing to 9:15a on a good day and closer to 10a on an aver­age day. Today, one of my bosses (or supe­ri­ors or some­thing) told me that I should be get­ting in closer to 9a. Honestly, I was kind of expect­ing this to hap­pen at some point and thank­fully the way in which it was pre­sented indi­cates that it hasn’t become an issue yet. All that said, the sim­ple fact of the mat­ter is that it’s find a bet­ter alarm clock time (so that I don’t just press snooze for two hours like usual). As far as alarm clocks go, there’s one per­fect choice and it means going back to clas­sics: Ventolin in the AM. Now, by Ventolin, I don’t mean the drug, I mean the Aphex Twin song. The song is fan­tas­ti­cally caus­tic (though very good) and will wake you up like noth­ing else. The method I have cho­sen for Ventolin pre­sen­ta­tion is the same one that I devised in high school: Winamp called with Ventolin’s mp3 as an option from a Windows Scheduled Task every week­day morn­ing. So yeah, if you want a sure­fire way to wake up in the morn­ing, I highly rec­om­mend Aphex Twin — Ventolin.
