What is the old song by Irving Berlin? "Oh, How I Hat To Get Up In The Morning". Yeah, that's me. And since the school day starts at 7:15 and I live half-an hour away from school, I'm getting up at oh-dark-freakin'-thirty every morning just to make sure that I get a chance to blog and get myself through the morning ablutions before I shoot out the door.

But some days I forget to set the alarm clock. It would be great to be able to have a wake-up call in the morning, timed to get me started early.

And that, my friends, is where Snoozester enters into the picture.

Snoozester.com is a great new service that allows you to schedule wake-up calls in the morning, just like when you stay at a fancy hotel with silk sheets and a mint on the pillow -- the sort of thing a teacher like me doesn't get too often.

Well... not exactly like in the hotel.

You see, Snoozester calls are not exactly from normal operators. Indeed, there is very little that you can describe as normal about the characters who call you to get you up and moving in the dark of the pre-dawn morning.

Let's see, there are currently five of them who share wake-up duties, depending on your needs and desires.

There's Lisa, who I find sort of cute in a mousy sort of way -- but she certainly isn't enough to get my blood pumping when I need to get myself vertical and moving around the house for my morning business.

And then there is the kid, Max. Let's just say that he might be the right thing for some of you, but I really don't have any patience for whiny babies approaching their terrible twos a bit early. But hey, whatever floats your boat!

Yeah, and speaking of boats, you could always get Captain Snooze, the pirate. If you want to start your day talking like Long John Silver, the Captain is your man -- and maybe he can force max or Lisa right off the plank for you some morning before he swashes his buckles.

need a boot camp flash-back? Try Sgt. Snoozester, who is vaguely reminiscent of the fellow from Mail Call on the History Channel. He'll get you moving -- and sometimes even laughing.

But my favorite has to be Harbajan, the Indian prince who supplies me with regular updates on the latest gossip form Bollywood and the odd cricket score -- and you know, cricket scores are all a little odd to American ears. But he's funny, and you need a laugh when you have to turn the lights on to find the phone to answer the call.

And now, you can even get reminder calls for appointments, too!

best of all, you can try out Snoozester free, just for signing up. Ten free calls -- that is two weeks of work for those of you trust-fund babies and Kennedys used to those silk sheet hotels I mentioned earlier. So what have you got to loose, friend -- check it out! it is easy to use, easy to configure to your needs, and priced right for any budget.

Paid Endorsement.
