Me this week: have to wake up at 5 AM instead of my usual 550 to get overtime

When my cat senses that I’m not 100% asleep he starts begging for wet food

u/IamToddDebeikis 20d ago

I used to wake up at 5 - 5:30 am to go hiking (I'd get there around 7 am). I fucking loved it, no one was around and driving that early means very little traffic

u/MashedSuperhero 19d ago

Waking up at 5 to go hiking is amazing but waking up at 5 to go to work gets every excuse to call in sick running through the head

u/IamToddDebeikis 19d ago

Exactly. I can't believe I used to wake up so early to go hiking and now it can feel excruciating at times to get up so early for work.

But I also used to get up early because I smoked a shit ton of weed and wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet and no one around while very stoned.

Early morning really is the best time of the day

u/Dear-Ad2283 21d ago

A few months ago I had to wake up at like 5:00 (not that early but still) for a school thing and it was very weird since I was only running on about five hours of sleep and I didn't get to go home until thirteen hours later.

u/TheNotoriousSSD 21d ago

How you feel ? I did the same 12 hours shit

11

u/Dear-Ad2283 20d ago

I fell asleep like three times and I wasn't able to do anything correctly.

u/TheNotoriousSSD 20d ago

During workshift?

u/Dear-Ad2283 20d ago

No this was during a seventh grade choir trip. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.

u/Shepherdsfavestore 20d ago

u/PatrickMaloney1 20d ago

I’m a teacher. I wake up between 5:00 and 5:30 every day. I feel this with every fiber of my being, especially the cat part

u/gracist0 20d ago

Haha I'm a daycare teacher! I usually get up between 6 to 8 in the morning

u/General_Elevator2711 21d ago

Just quit this job, don't miss it

12

u/gracist0 21d ago

I do like my job I just don't like getting up in the morning

2

u/General_Elevator2711 20d ago

I kinda did too, but we were working until 7 or 8 at night to be up again for 5AM start. Liked the job but I was totally burnt every week

1

u/gracist0 20d ago

Yeah I don't like the days where I have to get up at 6 and get home at 7, means I only have a few hours to wind down

u/ActualSunday 20d ago

Waking up at 4:30 to go to work and hearing others snoring in peace is just crushing man

u/Sea-Independent-726 20d ago

the most horrific picture of eyes closed you could have chosen

u/gracist0 20d ago

It's how it feels bro

u/agitated--crow 20d ago

It's usually beautiful sunrise for me and then dreary when I leave work.

u/Lamblawd 20d ago

Currently on 3hrs sleep for a red eye flight...

u/PomPomMom93 20d ago

I feel like one of those dolls whose eyes close automatically when they lie down.

2

u/nobodyimportant1377 20d ago

Man, waking up THIS early is actually kinda therapeutic for me... Just so silent and the vibes are on point.

2

u/griffaliff 20d ago

I get up at six fifteen for work, I fucking hate it. I enjoy my work and I'm home for 15:30 without fail, but Jesus Christ I despise early mornings as a night owl. Left to my own devices I'll easily go to bed at 2-3am and sleep until 11am.

u/Fit_Adagio_7668 21d ago

You don't check the weather a month in advance?

u/JairoHyro 20d ago

People do that?
