I Hate Waking Up Early

Early Work :(

By: itsallaparadox
Written on May 26th, 2012
I have to wake up at 6:20 for work everyday. I hate it so much. My alarm actually goes off at 5:45 just to give myself enough time to try and drag my a$$ out of bed. And even though I know I have to get up so early Monday through Friday, I still stay up until at least 11 or 12 every night doing a manner of things online, but mostly just EP :)

      What do you do that you start that late? And I would like to trade, but I put up with the hatred of waking up early to get off early. I wouldn't like to get off that late. In fact, I used to, and would still rather, work 6am to 2:30pm. That was awesome......and yes, you need two days off in a row. Although, I just worked OT today :( So just one day this week. But I get a long weekend next weekend. YAY!!!!

      I work in a Doctors office..doing medical coding..answering phones, taking co pays..making appointments and a host of other stuff. The practice is open from 8am to 9pm..mon tue and wed and those days I go in at 11:30 to close and then after late night wed I turn around and have to be in at 8am on Thursday...and get only 4hrs sleep that night..I can't just go to bed early...soo..it suck but its a job for now. And I work 7hrs on Saturdays...they give me friday and Sunday off but I rather have two days in a row... I'm on vacation this week though... Not going anywhere no money paying student loans and if they call me I'm not going to answer that phone...I told them I'd be out of town...I can see them calling me to come in.....my boss is a workaholic and thinks everyone else should be too...from how she acts. anyhoo....I like your hours for sure....I got in the wrong line of work.

    I thought I was the only South-African that stayed up that late or later to visit EP! I have to get up at 6:00 sharp or I'm late for work. What usually happens is I set my alarm for 5:30 and when it goes off, i either turn it off without remembering or say to myself "just 10 more minutes..." and when i wake up again its almost 6:30!! Then I'm like a tornado through the house and have to sacrifice morning coffee. It's all worth it though.

    If I didn't get hurt and put on STD I wouldn't have met anyone here on EP. When working I was in bed by 8 your time. In a way it was a good thing.

    I know the feeling. Every day, I convince myself I'm going to go to bed early. And every night when it's time for bed, I feel like I'm just waking up. So unfair! :)

      Yeah I know. Like right now :) I should go to bed. But I haven't showered, I haven't packed my lunch for tomorrow and I'm still chatting on EP (but I love this place). Alas, I will be up all too soon and curse myself in the morning :P What time do you have to get up tomorrow???...

      Luckily, I'm sort of on a mini-vacation at the moment (trust me - I deserve it), and I don't have to get up until 8. Normally, though, I'm up around 5 after only a few hours of sleep. And, like you, I wait until the last minute to take care of the necessities to get ready for the upcoming day.

      I'm on a break from school, but I'm supposed to be working in another state during my break (long story). Anyway, I told my boss that I have a class this week so I could come here just to rest and have time to think. You have my permission to take tomorrow off work. :)

    I agree with you. I'm not a morning person but have learned to deal with it when I have to. Lucky for me the scheduler of surgery is likes me so she is kind to me when it comes to putting me on the schedule for an operating room.

    The worst part of the day is waking up....I agree. Life would be so much better if everything started an hour later.
