That's a negative

You know me. You have for about 5 years. For 4 of those years, I have worked late-nights. Until 3am or so, not getting home til 330-4am. For 4 years I've been going to bed somewhere between 430-5am.

There is a general rule that goes along with said bedtime. Do not call me until about noon. Sometimes that is pushing it! But do NOT, unless you are my family or very very good friend and it's a dire emergency, (like going in to labor with no one else available) call me at EIGHT THIRTY AM. I did not answer your call. I did have to get out of bed to get the phone though, which disturbed my cat's slumber, which is the worst part of it all! Your message said "I have to work, my mom has to take Billy Boy to the doctor, can you watch Tommy Boy for an hour this morning." I'm sorry. This may seem like an emergency to you, but....your mom could easily take Tommy Boy with her to the doctor. Yes, it might be a bit inconvenient, but he's a good baby. He could handle it. There's no reason for you to have called me at EIGHT THIRTY AM. (You are also the one who had the radio on my competitor's station when I babysat a couple months ago. I've babysat for you since then. Never at 8:30am).

*disclaimer: if you are one of my closest friends and are getting ready to have a baby THIS MONTH, you can call me at ANY TIME and I will be there for you! ANY TIME. Even BEFORE 8:30am!!!
