One would think after hearing an alarm for years the person who set it would be used to it. Not Phil though as he wildly reached out of a tangle of sheets to turn off the high pitched blaring. However thanks to his typical luck instead of turning off the alarm he switched it over to Easy Listening music and was lulled back to sleep by it.
Waking three hours later Phil felt good and refreshed. Until he looked at his clock and saw what time it was. Panicking he hurried out of bed only to tumble face first to the floor hurting his nose thanks to the bed sheet still wrapped around his leg.
In the bathroom he saw in the mirror that his nose was bright red and hoped it fade before the interview. Jumping in the shower in he broke the handle off causing him to be mildly scalded before he was able to turn the what was left of the handle to a lower temperature. Leaving the shower he groaned as he wiped the steam from the mirror and saw he now had red patches all over his body where the too hot water had hit him.
Deciding to call for a ride to get to his job interview Phil went to the make himself some breakfast. Stepping over to the small kitchenette he fumbled the loaf of bread sending it to the floor. Bending down to get it he also grabbed the toaster to pull it out from behind the microwave where it usually sat to save what limited space he had but he did so too hard and brought it down onto the side of his head. Ear ringing and stinging from the impact he was able to have a quick breakfast of toast with peanut butter without any more issues.
Moving onto calling for a ride resulted in a half an hour hunt for his phone. Finding it behind his computer of all places Phil also found the battery was dead meaning he would have to use the pay phone down in the lobby. Which meant he also had to hunt around his apartment for ten more minutes looking for change.
Getting dressed Phil found out he had forgotten to hang up his dress skirt and pants and after checking the clock he saw he did not have enough time to iron them out if he wanted to make it anywhere close to the time his interview started at.
Rushing out of his apartment in very wrinkly clothes Phil fell once again this time tripped by what turned out to be the package the Instant Replay Remote that he had not been dreaming that he had ordered came in.
Ready to kick the thing down the hallway he was able to restrain himself. Instead he picked up and opened the package then took out the remote, intent on trying out the obvious toy he had bought for a laugh then throwing it hard back into his apartment and going to call a taxi.
The remote was actually fairly impressive looking. A sleek blue metal casing covered most of it. A small screen rest above a small pad of number and letter buttons for entering in how far back the user wanted to replay to. And the button to activate the remote was a cool looking spiral of yellow and red that even had a safety cap over it so that the button didn't get pressed accidentally.
Not bothering with the instruction manual Phil set the remote to take him back to when he was supposed to wake then pressed the button.
Ding!
Immediately following the sound was an intense feeling of vertigo hit him before vanishing less than second later. Blinking he once more heard the sound of his alarm going off and felt the press of his sheets on top of him. Stunned that the remote had worked Phil lay there for a moment before noticing the weight of the remote in his hand, and not noticing that due to the remote operating on tantric sex magic his morning wood was now just a bit longer.
For several long moments Phil grinned like a maniac and felt like a k!d again on his birthday faced with the possibilities of what gifts lay behind the wrapping paper of his presents. Calming himself down as he carefully reached over and turned the alarm off then sat up and looked at the remote.
