Lo and behold, it has alarms!  (I really wasn&#8217;t that surprised.  It&#8217;s not a fancy smart phone but it&#8217;s a semi-current piece of technology.  It has features.)  So I set up alarms to go off every two hours called &#8220;Water&#8221; starting at <i>EIGHT AM<\/i>.  And I used a sound clip of my very favorite <i><b><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/roosterteeth.com\/joel\">Spartan<\/span><\/b><\/i> yelling so it&#8217;s impossible to ignore.
