early to bed...

So I landed a job on Monday. It's a sweet little setup. I'm an IT contractor for some med tech company. I get paid hourly - and quite well I might add. The drawback is that I don't get benefits and I have to pay my own taxes. I can deal with that.

Back to the title. This job is the standard 9-5 job. It's a hefty commute through town so I have to get up around 7:00am. This means that I usually go to bed around 11:00pm or midnight.

Now after only ONE WEEK, my body is so adjusted to this regular schedule that it can't get out of it. My intention was to drink myself stupid Friday night and sleep until noon Saturday. Well thanks to my circadian rhythm, I woke up bright and early at 7:30am.

My advice to you? Don't get a real job. Save yourself the hassle of getting up at reasonable times every day. Nothing cool ever happens before noon anyway. Don't waste your time and gas driving from home to work and back, simply stay home. You'll be helping the traffic problem and saving the environment! You can survive without a job, my roommate has just fine! If you really need money, figure something else out. A real job isn't worth it my friends.
