Mornings blow for me! I hate getting up early for work (actually I just hate working period). Anyways, I think alarm clocks should be illegal. It never fails, I’m having the best dream when the damn thing goes off. Unfortunately, it doesn’t completely wake me up (all 4 alarms) and I end up incorporating it into my dreams. Once I actually wake up, I’m kinda pissy from the annoying alarm in my dream.
To make matters worse, my dog Pedro (who is the best snuggler ever – even when I have a boyfriend) always curls up right next to me right before the alarm goes off. This makes it about 52 times more difficult to force myself out of my bed. This is actually one of the reasons though why I always adopt senior dogs. They like to lie around and sleep a lot which is more conducive to my lifestyle. Anyways, that’s a side note.
The solution I have for all of this nonsense is simple. Let people sleep in until they naturally wake up in the morning. Once they’ve had their coffee, then they can start working. As long as they put in at least 5 hours of work every day, they should get their full pay. Why 5 you ask? Because that’s about the number of hours of work I usually do in an 8 hour work day. Once my brain goes on strike in the afternoon, I’m not getting a whole lot done. It’s not my fault though (even though I am lazy and probably a bad employee). My boss makes me think way to hard. Nobody should have to think that hard ever. So if you think about it, I actually work very hard every day, at least for 5 hours. I should get employee of the month!
