    It is an interesting experience to turn on the tv after never watching it. Makes me feel stupid .

    Lil Froggy got the right idea. The water is probably the warmest place to be right now. Screenshot_20191110-091457.png

    I have no problem waking up at 430 or 5am when im on 34 hour reset. And with no alarm clock at that..... As soon as i need to get up at thise godforsaken times to do a run , it is like waking up from the dead and i need 300 alarm clocks just to open my eyes .... I never did understand this logic ........thats why i learned to get going around midnight, its much easier for me to wake up at 11pm or midnight than it is 430 or 5am..... I think mostly i am just a weirdo

    When I was kid, get up for school, you going to be late, get up, up, don't sleep in all day, you awake yet etc?

    (*&^%$ oh my, we don't use that around here.... are you awake yet etc. It's freaking Gym time before we got moving at some of the craziest times of the day. (*It was a opportunity to get physical and crush your teammates in a game without being punished...

    I never dreamed at the end of the 10th hour there will be a FFE dispatcher standing on my fuel tank knocking almost to the minute. Morning driver, get going. Yer late.

    If anything around here in this life, I need a minute before dealing with the world. Such as it is.

    I think you slipped in wording there. These days, what is considered 'normal'. I want to be 'weird'.
    On sleeping. Have found that waking up when I feel like it is one of the great luxuries in life. OTR, I try to go to sleep early. Wake up before 10 is over or whatever.
    Too many years of waking up to the clock. I can remember walking half way to the bathroom before I opened my eyes.

    You sure you weren't having a nighmare? That's pretty bad. :rolleyes:

    One early morning about 3am. Had a security guard knock on my door. Letting me know I could unload. My cat got up in the window under the curtain. That guard couldn't get over it. Thought it the funniest thing in the world. Kept repeating: "That cat looked at me like... What the H! do you want!?"
