Smarter then me....

Earlier this year I was convinced to purchase a smart phone. I am still learning how to use many features and find it has been nice to have a smart phone. I traveled to Seattle earlier this week and spent the night in a hotel and needed to use the alarm to be sure we were up on time. I figured out how to set the alarm with the help of my husband and thought this is great. Well I usually get notified when I get email or text messages with a ring I had set. I didn't know how to turn off the notification without turning off or silencing the phone. I couldn't do either as I needed my alarm. My husband was asleep and I thought well it will be fine in about an hour no one will text or email me.

Finally, the phone was quiet and I fell asleep. About 3 hours later I started to hear this music. I had set up a Christmas tone just this week for notifications. So about every 30 minutes I would hear this song. About 3am my husband and I were both awake and tired of the tone and I told him I am not sure if I turn down the phone we will hear the alarm. He asked why my phone had been so active.  I said it is all the pre-Black Friday specials being emailed to me. So every time the phone jingled we would chuckle and go back to sleep until the next time.

By 5:30am we had enough and just got up. I didn't even need the alarm after all. My husband told me I needed to turn off the notifications tone. I said I don't think I can or my text messages won't ring either. After the tone a couple more times and my husband laughing at me and my smart phone I decided I had to do something. Finally, I figured out how to turn off the notification and we had a peaceful morning getting ready for the day. But, my husband let me know he would not let me forget how my Christmas jingle kept him up half the night alerting us to pre-Black Friday sales.
