So everyone's asleep, except li'l ol' me. Why do humans go about their business during the daylight hours? The night time is the right time. Soon, I will crash. And sure as shit, some daylight freak will want me awake and talking. LEAVE ME ALONE, I SAY.

My schedule at work has been jumping around lately (among other things) forcing me to keep largely normal hours which sucks. I know I keep whining about this but...

I get out of work in an hour. Then I'm gonna go home and take a nap untill its dark out. Daylight scares me. Nobody ever got skin cancer from the moon ya know?

Oh yeah, once I wake up it's drinkin' time!

Yes, I'm on a night time working schedule as well. Some of my friends are so fucking inconsiderate about it and it angers me. I have one who just cannot understand that I sleep from 10:00 to 4:00 during the day and insists on calling me during those hours. I called him and woke him up the other day on my way to work at 2:30 am just to give him a taste of his own medicine so I don't think he'll be calling me during the day anymore.

Hey rocko, I've had the same sleep schedule as you for the last four years and I've had the same problem. I just made a rule for my friends: Don't wake me unless it's to drink. Ever been to a bar twenty minutes after waking up, with bedhead and morning breathe?

2:30 am? I suppose he was quite pissed, wasn't he? Did he thank you for waking him up so he could finish his beer? Did he invite you to join? - a good friend always does.

Won't someone sing me a lullabye? It is raining, thunder, the works here, and I can't sleep. I just opened the scotch, maybe that will help.

I had that same problem last night. Came back from the bar a little drunk, still couldn't sleep so I raided my roomies booze and succeeded in passing out around 4am. I see if I can help.

Drink some booze
Go to sleep
Get a load on and sink deep
Into bed as the booze spins your head
I can't write like Papa, you know I just ain't able
But if he came in here tonight, I'd drink him under the table -Ronny Elliott
