A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

You can still use the following excuses:

-I accidentally left my phone connected to my Bluetooth headphones so I couldn't hear my alarm.

-My charging cord became unplugged without me noticing so my phone was dead when I woke up

-Time is an illusion and is but one factor of our place in the universe. From a different perspective, who's to say YOU aren't the one who's late?

I got an android and all alarms play through the phone's built-in speakers even if it has headphones plugged in or is connected to Bluetooth speakers

I also have an android and mine do not. It will still vibrate though.

I accidentally set it to PM instead of AM

Title is interesting because alarms on a phone are orders of magnitude more complex than an alarm clock.

Sure, but I never have it malfunction like traditional alarm clocks would. It is only ever user error that causes an alarm to make me late now.

user error

We can work with that

A couple months ago I was late because I had gotten up, fed the cats, then I fell back asleep the moment I sat down on the couch.

5:45 am

That's when our rooster decides everyone needs to be awake. Doesn't matter that the sun isn't awake, doesn't matter if he's too comfortable to even get off his perch, he's going to crow for a half hour.
