Alex wants to respond to his alarm.
Alex jumps up when he hears the loud sound and rushes to his work.
Alex hears the loud buzzer from his clock, but turns it off, falls back asleep, and doesn't show up on the job.
Alex sluggishly makes it through the workday, but feels good knowing he actually showed up.
Alex gets a call later from his boss telling him not to bother coming back.
