Idag

Är jag helt snurrig.

Hade utbildning för mentorerna igår kväll. Kom hem helt slut!

Tänkte att jag skulle få en härlig sovmorgon idag, men så sover man ju bredvid MR SNOOZE så det var ju omöjligt.

Men nu tänkte ni: varför det är nio minuter mellan varje snooze?

Här har ni svaret:

"it's really all a matter of mechanics. Back in 1956 when the snooze button was first introduced, alarm clocks had standardized gears. The snooze gear had to mesh with the teeth of the other gears. Due to the configuration of the gears, a nice, round 10-minute snooze cycle was out of the question, so the engineers had to choose between nine minutes or 10-plus minutes. As we all know, punctuality is a virtue, so the engineers went with nine minutes. Various attempts have been made to change the nine-minute snooze cycle -- manufacturers have tried five, seven, and ten minutes, but a nine-minute snooze has become the unofficial standard."

Nu vet ni det kära vänner.
