The Rant, Third Anniversary Edition

Can we switch? Id like another hour of sleep!

When I started this job at this store it was 7-330 (old store was 6-230). Then they decided on 6am 3x a week and 7am 2x a week. (Certain managers dont want to be here earlier.) Thats fine.

Then at xmas it went up to 4-1230...ugh. i finally got it changed to 5-130 because i just cant do 3am mornings. I would nap everyday. I was just too tired. This is okay... i can deal. But hubs has changed his schedule now so hes not home until 630. So thats the earliest we can have supper together which is rather close to my 9pm bedtime.

Oh an occasionally we still show up at 7 because some random manager is in charge and doesnt want to be here.

I wouldn't be able to handle your shifts.

It's weird really I'm up most of the night due to one thing or another and only start getting good sleep just about the time he wakes up.

If I tried to stay up later it only prolongs my process of tossing and turning so I would get even less sleep. If I go to bed early I can't sleep no matter what and just toss and turn.

Go to sleep dead - tired toss and turn.

I just want to be able to crawl in bed have my head hit the pillow and be asleep!

Sounds tough. But things will change soon. Hang in there.

I get up at 5:00 because my wife wants to arrive at work an hour ahead of time. Even if I tried to sleep in, the dogs would wake me up if my wife gets up. So when the alarm goes off at 5, I get up and make coffee and take the dogs out. My wife ignores her alarm and waits for me to drag her out of bed once I get back inside with the dogs. Effectively making me her snooze alarm

Sounds tough. But things will change soon. Hang in there.

yes they will, but likely not for the better

[Jacque67 7,328]

Shhh, Cary!

[NikLR 13,227]

Lol i get 10 days off with the kiddo soon so. I deal with it as I get time off as needed since my pay check isnt the one paying the bills. Just buying the toys.

[Ontarkie 14,234]

Those 10 days are worth it too!

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

I find it hard enough getting up at 7:15 to get the kid off to school. Then again, my natural clock has me set to sleep at the earliest 1am.

Who needs more than 6 hours sleep anyway?

1. If the service was excellent why there was no tip? Or did I not understand what you wrote

2. Belayed happy Many'st to Mtr. T-B!

1. Average service gets a 0% tip, oj tak. Excellent service gets a FULL 0% tip, oj tak.

2. Gracias, oj tak, but who is Mtr.? Monster?

1. The policy was called "stop and frisk".

2. Stop and identify, is just "common right of inquiry". You don't have to identify yourself. That's nationwide. However, when there's "reasonable cause to believe", now you have to identify yourself, such as in a car stop. Otherwise subject to arrest.

Many. Carrying Many k isn't illegal. I said "may" be detained.

Many. "over Many dollars". It's not Many dollars, but "over" Many dollars. The word "excess" is very important.

Many. You should receive in excess of 1 year in jail for felonious monkery...

1. Like a glorified Terry frisk (another truly awful Supreme Court decision), huh man?

2. Well, now, even during a common police contact, one is subject to arrest without first ascertaining "Are you arresting or officially detaining me, huh man? Do you have good cause to believe that I'm a witness to a crime, huh man?" We rarely agreed with John Paul Stevens, but his dissent in the Hiibel case was right on.

Many. And if actual detainery occurs, reason will be found for carrying $Many K to be illegal, sigh man.

Many. Send us the excess of your $Many, which we will count and then discuss with you, si man.

Many. Is there an excess of rubias in the slammer, huh man?

t-b only tips if insulted;)

We tip cows, but only when the service is good, see J ma'am.

I'm tired of waking up at Many am.

It's in your job description, and try awakening at Many a.m. instead, D ma'am.

Who needs more than 6 hours sleep anyway?

It's been proven women need more sleep then men.

Right now I would love 6 hours of sleep. Between what I get at night and my nap if I get one I don't get that much sleep.

[TBoneTX 45,329]

Stop waking up at Many

Plagiarism, see man! Reported!!!

I would love to, but the little Jedi thiks it's the perfect time to wake up.

His job description trumps yours, see D ma'am.

Change all the egregious P-math errors above to "Many o'clock," and all your worries vanish, si Niki-B. ma'am.

1. I wouldn't be able to handle your shifts.

2. Go to sleep dead - tired toss and turn.

Many. I just want to be able to crawl in bed have my head hit the pillow and be asleep!

1. A full-time mommy's shifts are never done, no D ma'am.

2. In your job description, sigh D ma'am.

Many. Not in your job description, full-time mommy D ma'am.

My wife ignores her alarm

Our all-time favorite quote, and the one replete with the most utter of truth, is this, see man:

The alarm clock is merely a suggestion, zzz man.

my natural clock has me set to sleep at the earliest 1am.

1 a.m. is the zenith of the evening, si Nola-B. ma'am.

We think that Mornings -- from Many a.m. to at least noon -- should be outlawed, grrr man.

1. Who needs more than Many hours sleep anyway?

2. I would love Many hours of sleep. Between what I get at night and my nap if I get one I don't get that much sleep.

1. Anathema, shame man!

2. This is almost what we get, too, short-of-zzz man.

Are you sure that's need more and not get more?

If you're getting many hours of sleep, then you're sleeping too much

If you're getting many hours of sleep, then you're sleeping too much

Every medical source recommends Many hours, see man.

Large corporate POTS order just came in, $i man.

Must quality-test the product and supervise fulfillment, diligence man.

Afternoon, Commie- and other babes with less than Many hours of sleep and +1 inventories!
