I'm Not Lazy
Hey out there in cyberland. What's happening? Not much here, just waiting to get off work for the weekend. I have our group pager (rotated weekly between the manager and us supervisors for emergency issues), wasn't supposed to get it until Monday. My manager is going camping and turned it over to me early. Now I have to lug the archaic piece of plastic and circuitry around for the next 10 days. Oh well, our group doesn't need to call the number much anyway in the off hours. And if they do, I get paid overtime. If I get woke up at 8AM (that would be like the normal person getting woke up at 3AM since I work different hours*), I will charge 30 minutes OT even if the issue only takes me 5 minutes to address. You keep me on the phone 15-20 minutes, that's 1 hour OT I am charging, by the time I am able to relax and fall back asleep. BRING IT ON!
Sorry, I go off on rants sometimes. But getting to my asterisk...
*I am not lazy. I get 6-7 hours at the most sleep every night. I get home from work right before midnight, I am not able to just go get in bed just to wake up early in the morning. I am the type of person that needs this cycle: Wake up, go to work, come home, freetime, go to bed. My freetime happens to be during the WAY early hours of the AM. I cannot stand people who try and give me a hard time for sleeping until noon. It is not like I get home from work and just go hit the bed for 12 hours. You better BACK off on this one. I am in no mood. It also sucks to get up early, start getting into some project and then BAM, time to go to work. Getting into a project after work, I am able to say "I don't feel like quitting now, I can survive with an hour or two less sleep tonight to finish." But when I have to go to work, there is no, "I guess I'll be an hour or two late to work so I can finish this project." NO WAY! So you can stick your "hey lazy sleeping in until noon" comment right up your ass. Let me show you how someone gets work done. Bastard. Now you've pissed me off, I am going now.
P.S. And no I will not split up my only available free time during the week even further by taking a couple hours before and after work. Life is too short to work away for someone else (one day I will be my own boss but it isn't now), so splitting my time up is not an acceptable answer. I think I'll go set the lake on fire now.
