Dear NotSpez, I’m in the rollercoaster on the right lane and I don’t like it a lot.
Mrs TotallyNotSpez, what a pleasure to see you again! Just a shame about the circumstances, hope your day is salvageable despite of the early start.
The right lane from whose perspective, Mr Totally?
Mrs TotallyNotSpez says:
The getting up at 6am lane
I woke up at 3 am because my body is pulling a prank on me
Heard somebody brush their teeth and prepare for bed as I was leaving for the gym today at 5am. Worst part is I’m not sure who it was as there are at least 3 people I live with that likes to roam the apartment at night.
What about people like me that get up at 4am even on their days off?
in a mental asylum
They either need a hug, a better pillow or an exorcism would be my guess ;)
I’m usually up around 5 and I love it.
Nobody asks you to do shit that early. It’s glorious. My time is my own.
Or that late.
We must have very different families lol. My time getting to be my own is why I stay up late.
Correct. I don’t have any family so that’s a fairly large factor here.
I more meant like habits formed in child hood type of family. Like my parents were both up at the crack of dawn, or earlier, so anything even as early as 4am wasnt “my time”. So I shifted into being a nightowl to have some time where I wasn’t beholden to anyone.
I wish I could sleep in, but my brain says it’s 5am and to get up then do nothing for an hour.
How impractical for the ghouls.
They boarded the ride, their leader says:
Alright guys, just buckle in and sit tight. Halfway during the ride we will get somewhat close to another train coming the other way. We only have a few seconds and we aren’t really close enough to do anything, so just wave at them menacingly and try your best to scare them. For everyone sitting on the right, you are way out of range, so we need our most scary faces there. Don’t be disappointed, they will probably still be scared and we get to enjoy the rest of the ride for ourselves.
They all cheer and put their hands up. One guy totally forgets about the other train and is just vibing with the experience.
I imagine they all went and got some ice cream after.
Night shift handing off to morning shift
An then there are those that swing days and nights who are stuck in perpetual limbo. My sleep schedule sucks.
Shift handovers
This 💯
It was annoying af coming off a 3rd 12 shift at 7am dying to get home and passing the overly cheerful day shift morning people. “good morning! Happy Friday!”
This has got to be Iron Maiden album art right?
Turns out it’s a painting by Johnny Craig
Interestingly it was unpublished until it showed up on a blog.
I’ve always wondered if it was made for a commercial use that fell through. It looks like it should be a goosebumps book, or a poster advertising a Halloween event at an amusement park.
Iirc it was a comic cover
“Got Up or Stayed Up” is a fun game to play at Burning Man.
You mean in college?
Try a train full of homeless meth heads who haven’t showered in 6 years oozing puss from their face
