Battery Backup Guide

ConradIrrg asked:


Do I need to do something to activate the battery? I’ve looked at several of such alarm clocks and none of them work with the battery. Is it a manufacturing defect or what??

About 6 weeks ago I met this amazing girl named Janie at the mall. I remember initially bumping into her (literally!) and noticing that she was wearing the same t-shirt as me (one of those Old Navy logo print shirts). It was obvious we clicked and I asked her out.

Fast forward to this week, I was at school and I have this assignment due. I’d been up all night sunday and monday working on it, since it was just assigned that friday and was a MAJOR part of my grade. I finally got it finished at literally like 4:30am on Tuesday and decided to get a couple quick hours of sleep before popping out of bed again to shower and head down to school.

Well of COURSE, the power goes out in my neighborhood and apparently my alarm clock doesn’t have a battery backup! I wake up almost NOON, long after the class ended for which this assignment was due (first period Hypovertebrae Biology).

Should I tell her? I like her a lot, but I need to be able to trust her, you know? Any perspective would be great!
lol, I’m an idiot. I left out the most important part of the question. Sorry to anyone scratching their head over this.
What I should have mentioned was that I only have the biology class on tuesdays and thursdays, so getting the assignment in on wednesday wasn’t an option. We shifted over to a “block schedule” at my high school when I was a sophomore, and ever since then, classes are like 2 hours long 3 times a week, instead of 1 hour long 5 times a week.

More importantly, since this class was at the end of the day (like 1:30-3:30), I wasn’t likely to get a chance to talk to the teacher any earlier than that on thursday. From his perspective, that’d be so much extra time that I can’t imagine he’d accept it, and if he did, he’d probably knock me down a full letter-grade at least (he’s used a similar policy before).

The teacher is a cool guy, but it’s he’s very strict when it comes to matters like this. I respect him, though, I just wish I hadn’t put this off so much.
Sally: Sorry, I should have mentioned– Janie and I go to completely different schools, so I don’t think she’d really care either way regarding the assignment. I mean, I still did put a lot of work into it, and I think she’ll respect that more or less.
