And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is horrible. I don't think I could do it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sounds miserable, amyth. 6am is a nonfunctional hour.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Snarling ragemonster is a completely understandable response to a 6am start of work.

I have a friend who works for LAX TSA and his work day usually starts at 4am. I don't know how he does it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'd much rather work a regular graveyard shift - 11pm - 7am at one of my previous jobs than have to get up for work at 4am. Or even 6am.

Motivation is supremely lacking on this Friday. I just want to sleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I would cry if I had to be in at 7!

I had a meeting all morning (and two before it!) and it's snowing and I'm not sure I'm going to get anything else done today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Motivation is supremely lacking on this Friday. I just want to sleep.

I have a severe case of don't wanna. Not enough sleep last night and general lack of emotional spoons has me wanting to sleep until Monday.

I have to get up at 4 to be in by 8, but that is because of the bus and the fact I am a slowpoke.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My favorite was working a swing shift. I had set up a new distribution center and I needed to be in the office when the regular office peeps were there and also in the warehouse when the pickers were working second shift to stock the new shelves. So I think it was like, 10am - 7pm. Which was perfect. I rolled out of bed late, missed both rush hours, still had time to go out with friends or whatever when I got home. It only lasted a few months when we were starting it up, but those were happy months.

Yeah, that sounds nice. Although I was just talking about how settled in I am to an 8:30 arrival, which many old bosses would say is really unlike me. But until recently, I had standing meetings at 9 on both Monday and Tuesday, and I cannot just walk in the office and into a meeting. I have to ease in!

hip deep in pie

I have had to be at work for 8:30 for a long time now, and I have never gotten used to it. I try really hard not to book meetings before 10 AM because my brain does not function in the morning.
