Re: Cloudy's Cafe-a conversation zone- January 2, 2011
Dammit! I'm so pissed!
I work night shift. I have an appointment at the dentist in the afternoon and it's going to cut in my sleep time. So I had to leave work 2 hours early (unpaid!) so I could get some sleep.
I get home and go to sleep. Then an hour later surprise! The uneducated, ill-washed plumber who's supposed to fix the room decided he'd drop by and start working on it without warning. So I'm trying to sleep and every 20 minutes I'm woken up by banging noises and what feel like an elephant walking on the roof. After about 2 hours of this I pretty much give up trying to sleep and just lay in bed. It couldn't get any worse right?
Wrong! The guy then knock on my window to wake me up (He knows I work night) so he can borrow a frikkin extension cord. Apparently he doesn't have one. So I have to take my computer room's and my bedroom's small cords and put them together (now I have to set the clock on everything!) just so it could reach the room.
And then he call me from the roof two minutes later. Do I have a slotted screwdriver? So I dig around for one and throw it to him on the roof.
It's 4 o clock and my appointment is in two hours. I decide I might as well get something to eat and get ready. I put something in the microwave but what's that I hear? Yeah. Him calling me again.
Now he wants help operating his machinery on the roof. He live the next town over 90 miles away and if I can't help he won't be able to do anything today. So here I go on the roof of the duplex (I'm afraid of height) and spend the next three quarter of an hour helping him do his unannounced job.
So I slept two hours. I have an appointment at the dentist, and then I have to go to work from midnight to 8:30 am. Polite words can not describe how I feel.
