LOL YOU GUYS AND YOUR 24-HOUR CLOCKS.
24 hour time is the more sensible time to use.
12 hour time: Oh, going to bed, eh buddy? Setting your alarm for work, buddy? Cool, cool. What time is your shift? Three? Cool, alright buddy, I'll just set this for two AM, then you'll be all set to wake up and get to work on time, buddy.
TWELVE HOURS LATER
Hey buddy, you have a nice rest? Good, good. Hey buddy, where are you going? Buddy, why the rush? It's only three PM buddy! Buddy? You still there buddy? ...hello?
TEN HOURS, ONE STRESSFUL SHIFT AND A WRITE-UP FOR BEING LATE TO WORK LATER
BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP! Buddy, it's time to get ready for work, buddy! Hey, buddy, don't just sit there, it's important to show up for work on time, buddy. Buddy? What are you doing buddy? Buddy...no, buddy, get away from that cord, buddy, no! Stop, buddy! I don't wanna go to sleep buddy, no! Please, buddy, don't do this to me buddy, plea-
24 hour time: Hey, pal, going to bed? Cool. You gotta work tomorrow, yeah? Alright pal, what time's your shift? Four PM? Alright, I'll just set this alarm for 1500, so you'll have plenty of time to get ready and get there on time. Don't mention it pal, sleep well.
NINE HOURS LATER
BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP Hey pal, time to get up! You gotta work in an hour, pal, go make some coffee or something, it'll help. Yeah, no problem, pal. I'll see you when you get home, alright pal?
