I was awoken in the wee hours of the morning by a loud …
“CHIRP”
And after a short spell …
“CHIRP”
And after a spell of refusing to wake up and get out of bed …
“CHIRP”
Then after I started getting a wee bit PO’d because something interrupted my medication induced sex dream …
“CHIRP”
Then it dawned on me that the smoke detector in the bedroom was letting me know that the battery was low and needed replaced. This meant dragging my butt out of my comfortable bed, locating a new battery, getting out the step ladder and then having to remove the damn detector from its mounting bracket. Fortunately I had a package of spare batteries and I put one in the damn thing so I could get back to my dreaming.
I swear to almighty God that some damn engineer ensured a timing chip was placed in these things so they would “CHIRP” at 12:22 AM (0022). There should be a law allowing us to designate engineers as potential shark bait.
I bet Jason and the Denver Broncos had something to do with the design of the smoke detectors.

Why do those fecking things go off at 2am?? How about NOON when I am actually AWAKE?

*chirp* LOL … you are really industrious to get up to shut up a chirping smoke detector. I’d throw something at it and shut it up…clean it up later…

I’d just have a new expense of replacing the whole thing if I did that.

Which reminds me, I really need to make sure I’ve got some of those batteries. Or maybe I should just go ahead and replace them – but then, what if they still hae a lot of juice? Yes to the engineers’ thing.
