Laquisha: What’s in the bag?
Yun: Three alarm clocks and a kitchen timer.
Laquisha: What are they for?
Yun: I have a very important interview tomorrow morning and these will help me prepare for it.
Laquisha: How?
Yun: The timer will help me time my responses to common interview questions so I don’t run off at the mouth. See? Instead of the stopwatch function, I use the countdown function so I’ll know when to wrap up.
Laquisha: And the alarm clocks?
Yun: I have a habit of pressing the snooze button after an alarm goes off. I’ve tried different kinds of alarms: ones that buzz, ones that beep, ones that vibrate, and ones that use a ringtone. But I still fall back to sleep.
Laquisha: And what do you plan to do with three alarm clocks?
Yun: I plan to set the alarms one minute apart and put them around my bedroom. By the time I turn them all off, I should be awake.
Laquisha: And if not?
Yun: Then maybe I should be applying for jobs as a mattress tester.
