Well. I'm Awake.
Don't you love when you're sleeping in your bed, so absolutely comfortable and relaxed knowing there is no reason for you to get up? That you can lay in bed as long as you want, with no one home to interrupt or to make noise?
That was me this morning. I was so comfortable, I had found my niche which had been feeling impossible the last couple nights. I was happy and dreaming about being at a university in Florida but transferring to Sarah Lawrence (???? I have the weirdest dreams) and then I finally hearing the ringing. I was at that stage in my sleep where I could hear the phone ringing but if it stopped ringing I could so easily fall back into my dream.
But then it kept ringing. And ringing. And ringing 23 more times. My family doesn't have an answering machine and some people don't get the hint to hang up after the 45TH DAMN RING. NO ONE IS HOME OR NO ONE WANTS TO ANSWER THE PHONE, GIVE IT UP.
But he didn't. So I finally crawled out of bed, found some pants, and went to the living room to answer the phone which OF COURSE was a long distance number. Great.
Me groggily: Hello?
Phone: Hi, can I speak with John? (my dad)
Me: No, he's at work
Phone: Can I have his cell phone number? (UH, ballzy over here, he's at work, get the clue)
Me: Who is this?
Phone: Kevin (Oh, well now that THAT'S cleared up, I know exactly who is calling (?!?!))
Me: I don't just give his cell number over the ph-
Phone: I'm calling from Chryslers
OMG FINE, JUST TAKE HIS NUMBER, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE. (Hai, I'm not a morning person in the least)
So I then grab the cordless phone, in case anyone else calls I won't have to get up, and I crawl back into bed. Not even 2 minutes later.
RING. RING. RING. LONG DISTANCE.
Me: Hello?
Phone: Hi, is Jordan home?
Me: No, he's at work.
Phone: Alright, bye
Uh? Long distance people? DON'T YOU HAVE COMMON COURTESY/SENSE? People are, well usually, AT WORK or sleeeeping at 9am!
I threw the cordless in the drawer next to my bed and slammed it shut. I then rolled over trying to find my niche and tried to doze off.
Then not even 30 SECONDS LATER. RING RING RING. Like, are you KIDDDING me??? At this point I have no manners or patience.
Me: OMG, hello?
Phone: Hi is this 555-7645?
Me: Yes
Phone: Ok, is this a house are U-Haul?
Me: What?!
Phone: Ok hi, is this U-Haul or..
Me: NO THIS ISN'T U-HAUL!!!?!
Phone: Ok, I sorry..
Sorry random Arab man for yelling at you. But COME ON.
Things like this always happen to me. I'm taking it as a sign I should just be awake, since there is no way in hell I'd be able to fall back asleep anyways.
