    Default NOT free during the day (rant)

    Ok I need to vent.
    I am really getting tired of friends assuming i am just free during the day everyday just coz I work at night. My day is the equivalent of their night - I want to relax.

    I am also busy during the day as I have to get stuff done. I have personal training 3 times a week and the other two days I train at the gym on my own as well. I do banking,get waxing, nails or hair done when it needs it. Need to buy things for working etc.

    But my friends seem to think I am just free to catch up whenever they feel like it.

    It is also unreasonable for me to still be asleep at 12pm! well fuck sorry I work til 6:30am sometimes so forgive me if I'm not awake 2-3 hours later!

    Arrrggghhhh feels good to get this stuff off my chest, it really does.

    Since you're off during the day, could you run down and pick up my dry cleaning, tomorrow?

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    I hate that shit too. I always get 'you're so lucky to be able to sleep in' when they call me at 9am. DOUCHE I went to BED at 5am, I only got four fucking hours sleep when you decided to call. 'Meet me at 10am' is bullshit. I work nights. 'Well you work nights so you're free during the day, right?' wtf I don't sleep?! Since when do you not sleep, huh?

    It's like working nights gives you some magical nonsleeping powers.

    Yes, I'm a freaking vampire.

    I totally feel you!! I am tending bar temporarlily, but it's the same hours.

    here is a conversation with pretty much every "straight-job" person....

    Them: It must be so nice to sleep til noon everyday...

    VP: Not really. I close work at 2:30, then it takes me til 4 to clean and I usually sit around and have a couple drinks with my coworkers anyway. By the time I get home and make a snack or watch some tv to unwind, it's six in the morning....so I only get like six hours of sleep

    Them: Mhmm.. Gosh it must be so nice to be able to sleep in so late and just do whatever you want all day??

    VP: punches them in the face.

    Hahaha. Okay, maybeI don't punch them but it is ssooooo frustrating. I literally go so far to break it down as kay, I get six hours of sleep. You get eight. Just because you go to bed a 10 and get up at 6 am doesn't mean it's not still more sleep then when I go to bed at 6 and get up at noon right?

    EVEN Then it's like they still think I'm lucky???

    I hate that-stupid roommates are always grinning at me when I stumble into the kitchen. "Oooh, did you just wake up? I wish IIIIII could sleep in." Yeah, haha. I kill you.

    I did finally break them of the habit of ever knocking on my door unless it's open. They used to come round at like 9 and knocky knocky.

    I think since people are often asleep when we're working they forget that time goes by even when the sun is off.

    Sympathy, every so often someone will make the same mistake with me, but for the most part I nipped this in the bud with my friends really early on when I started dancing. I stuck a note on my door stating something like "I WORK NIGHTS, DO NOT WAKE ME UP!" and had a message on my phone saying that I work odd hours and therefore sleep odd hours so leave a message and expect to hear from me whenever. It has worked really well.
    I suggest having a chat with the worst offenders and explaining it like you would to a child - its unbelievable how some people just dont get it!

    I explained it up to eight times for some people before I just got really fucking angry and cut them off completely. I sleep til fucking NOON people. No, I'm not goddamn lazy, I go to bed at butt-fuck-ass-crack of dawn. If I go to bed when the sun is rising, I am NOT A FREAKING LAZY ASS BECAUSE I WOKE AT NOON.

    *heaveheave*

    And people ask me 'why do you have the phone on then?' because sometimes it'sa JOB. If I have my phone off, I lose work. Pffft. SO YOU NO MESSAGE ME AT 9 ONLY BOSS CAN. EFF OFF.

    this annoys me so much too! "you slept til 2?! that's ridiculous!"
    "uhh not really since i got to sleep at 6am."

    almost as annoying as the guys at work who ask what my day job is. because of course, after working 8-10 hours through the night i get up for my regular 9-5! when i tell them stripping is my only job, they are shocked! fools.

    I don't actually. If I'm working in the club I usually am not in bed until 5am and have to get up at 9am every single morning. Not only that.. if it isn't the diabetic (hungry) cat that is making sure i am not getting a lot of sleep.. it is the two lovely adorable wonderful (little shits ) kittens who are running around/on me at 6am because THEY are hungry... so.. now.. I am getting up at 6am-ish to feed the kittens (with hungry diabetic cat in tow) then going back to sleep to have to get up at 9am again to tend to the diabetic cat (he has his insulin shot at 9am and 9pm).. then back to sleep for another hour or two before having to get up again.. as I do need to get stuff done.

    Before I have an afternoon nap (if i'm lucky) to head off to work.

    So .. no. I'm not "lucky" at all!

    ...and no my flatmate is an asswipe I don't trust as far as i can throw him so i can't rely upon him to help me out by looking after his cat at 9am in the morning even if i have been working til 5am and he has only been on WoW all that fucking time.

    I lost trust in my flatmate a long time ago (around the time when when I was Darwin and Bibs (when she was alive) had a vet appointment she really needed to go to .. anyway... enough of that.. don't get me started *grr*). Just because I'm frustrated and don't like my flatmate doesn't mean I should treat his cat (what a joke that is..) like shit. I adore Puddy too much to do that to the cat.

    It isn't the cat's fault he has a douche as a "human" and that douche won't give up 'ownership' of Puddy to someone who CAN and WILL look after Puddy.

    ^^ That would kill me as I adore Puddy way too much to let him escape.

    ......and he has had plenty of opportunities to escape in my current place yet doesn't as he really has it good here. Plus being a half blind (one eye is pretty much 'gone' as far as vision is concerned) and diabetic plus 11 years old.. he isn't really in a great position to survive on 'his own' for long.

    My ideal is to have Puddy myself, my flatmate gone, flatmate pay me the money he owes me in full and someone who has a job during the day (yet keeps to him/herself and has a tidy streak as I do not LOL) as my flatmate.

    Anyway, I agree about those "in between" days.. where you have worked til whenever in the am.. gotten to sleep.. only have something like 5 hours actually in your day after you awaken before you are back at work. Usually all I like to do on those day is relax or else only do the basics (banking, grocery shop, etc) on those days.

    that's another ridiculous thing. or when they say "so what do u do during the day? go shopping, get your nails done?" as if that's flakey.
    Just because we work during the night doesn't make it any less work than their 9-5.

    I hatehatehate that too. I like to be sarcastic, 'I watch all the money you just gave me accrue on the stock market while drinking mochachinos, wtf do you think I do?'

    Oh no wait, I forgot, when I'm done being a zombie stripper existing on little to no sleep, I design giant replicas of famous landmarks made out of toothpicks. I'm working on the Eiffel Tower right now.

    I used to use the words "graveyard shift" when describing my job situation to friends and family. That seems to sink in a bit more, for some reason.

    This is my biggest pet peeve. That people think I'm a lazy fucker because I sleep during the day. I shut my phone off and have a note posted on my door. I don't care if somebody died. I'll deal with it when I get up.

    This one 'friend' of mine used to say things to me like "Oh it must be so nice to sleep in and spend the day pampering yourself " because she would call at 2 and I'm just waking up and headed off to the nail salon. Listen bitch, I work til 2 or 4 and I have to get my nails done and go tanning and to the gym during the day BECAUSE IT'S MY JOB ! Otherwise I'd sleep till the sun went down.I'm a night person anyway and I get sick of explaining to people why I sleep during the day. I want to start a colony for night people where we can all live in peace and pick up our cleaning at 1am or get highlights and tan sometime around 4am. How sweet would that be?You know on days off you're still up at crazy hours
    Feel the fear and do it anyway.
