nice white sheets

So yeah

here we go, time to pick on squid! or hear how pitiful i am

With my job comes this wacky work and sleep schedule!
i work 7 to 7 swing shifts,

meaning i work either 7am to 7pm or 7pm to 7am
nights or days per say. and i work them at 3 to 4 to 5 day wacks,
this week monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, nights, 7pm to 7am
and then i get friday sat off and then back sunday nights.

anywas, you get the point... most people say
"UGgg how do you do it?"

or

"How do you deal with time change, and sleeping and all that stuff"

I end up doing alot of 36 hour days, meaning staying up for 36 hours at a wack, and then crashing for 14 to 18 hours
or on my days off sleep till 12 or later (usually till 2 or 3pm)

yes i REALLY enjoy my sleep when i get it, thats why i get reallllllly pissed when i woken by the phone, mailman, fedex or ups guy or the singing neighbor!

but thats not the sad part. looking through other people's blogs i see pics of people in bed sleeping in nice white sheets and fluffy pillows and big beds

and i go home to a.....

twin bed
bottom sheet
sleeping bag
pillow and a cat

who usually takes up 2/3rds of the bed

now while you ask,

why the fuck does he sleep in a sleeping bag. thats kinda easily expained,

i like it. and i got a DAMN nice sleeping bag!!!! even the cat likes it! the x girl friend didnt know what to think of it, but she never compained of me hogging the covers, i had my own HAHAHAHHAHAHA...... yeah shes gone,


anyways, yeah twin bed...

so i moved in and i didnt have a bed, then my parents showed up the next day with.... my old bed from my partents house. they had plans for my room and my bed was not part of it. and when living in the appartment before my current one, i was living with grunt, and he had a bed i used. so i had no need for a bed

so that explains the bed

and now lack of sheets and blankets and all that lovely fluffy shit

and my answer
sad sad sad lonely answer

i have no girl frined, no reason to impress, no reason to brake out the sheets, pillows, fluffy blankets and other crap
no reason to get them dirty and do the laundry more often!

sad yes i know, but my big black furry pussy (my cat) does not complain!
