Phone Alarm Clocks with the default of "weekdays only".

The Culprit: The enV3.
One time, my friend Ryan and I were sharing a hotel room at the Hyatt Regency Kansas City for the JEA Fall Convention.  We needed to be at breakfast by 7 so that we could be at the convention by 8. Simple right?  So we set Ryan's brother's phone (his had died that week) to go off at 6:30am.  We specifically checked that it was AM and not PM.  Next morning, we both wake up to the sound of someone pounding at our door.  When we answered the door, it was Mr. Dent, wondering why neither of us were answering our phones or at breakfast.  What time was it? 8:01am.  Upon further examination, the phone's alarm default was for weekdays only, and today was a Saturday.  Moral of the story: Whenever you set an alarm, triple-check every setting so you don't look like a fool.
