i may rise but i refuse to shine

so my phone vibrating itself off my nightstand has proved to be a much more efficient wake-up call than the actual alarm... like 4 times in the past 2 weeks, i have forgotten to turn the ringer back on after having it on silent all day in the office. instead of the musical tones that my alarm usually stirs me with, i am jarred into consciousness by my phone vibrating against the glass top and then off onto the floor. what a wonderful way to start the morning... about as nice as a slap in the face.
