Being a Brit, I couldn't help noticing the rather serious bug in the
above code snippet.  I hope you won't mind me offering an improved
version:-

(defun tea-time ()
  (message "It's time for tea!"))
(run-at-time "9:30am" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "10:00am" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "11:00am" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "11:30am" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "12:00am" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "1:00pm" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "2:00pm" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "3:00pm" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "3:30pm" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "4:00pm" nil 'tea-time)
(run-at-time "5:00pm" nil 'tea-time)
