Why you don't bug me in the mornings "I'm handing out lollipops and ass-kickings, and I'm all outta lollipops."

Care to guess which TV show that was from? (Hint: it was on last night)


Okay, so I'm a bitch in the mornings. I'm not a morning person, never have been. A few people find that a little hard to understand. Especially since I am normally at work before everyone else gets there. But all my old jobs, I worked in the afternoons/evenings. I mean, if I am going to be up until the bum-fck am, why not get paid for it.

I have always had a hard time sleeping. I've been on drugs to help me out, both OC and prescription, but nothing seems to truly help. My doctor at work thinks that it could be because of depression or my being bipolar. If that is the case, then that should have been determined when it started in my childhood. I can pass out for a couple of hours and that is about it. Don't expect much more from me. Sorry. I continually get told by my coworkers to go get some coffee or caffeine to perk up. That never helps...caffeine and sugar don't do much to my system; it just makes sure that my blood glucose stays even. (Being hypoglucosive can be a strain sometimes.)

But what gets my nerve is when people who know I am not a morning person like to push my buttons. They know that it is easier to get me riled up, and then tell me to chill out. Sorry, that does not float my boat. There are a lot of us out there who function, but only because we have to, for the mornings. But DON'T ever tell us to chill out...that can set the mood for us the rest of the day.

So, I will sit here and finish downloading more cd's to my computer today so I can have some new stuff to listen to and create new playlists. I will sit and do my work and hope that no one wants to bug me a lot after I get back from the Friday Chick-Fil-A run. Otherwise, heaven help them.

Just pay attention to the old adage: let sleeping dogs lie; this one will bite back.  ¶ 4/29/2005 04:03:00 AM
