I need to get into work at 6am and don't get off until 4pm. Then I have another job from 6pm to 12am. I'm on call after midnight until 4am when the morning guys come in. I do this everyday except Sunday and half day on Saturdays.

I had to work my first job from 6am-4pm on Christmas.

I don't get a New Year's Eve or Day off. But I don't make posts about getting up or not getting enough sleep.

When I go on vacation, I'm always on call and need to be local. The last time I ever went out of town was when I was going to college which was 2 years ago.

That's slavery.

Seriously, you better own that business if you have to be on-call on your vacation or being paid in the high six figures+.

You do know that some people can't function on what you do, right? We're not all the same.

For instance, I like having 9 hours of sleep. Anything less and I am pretty groggy all day. :\ I've tried 4 hours(I'll fall asleep in class), 5 hours(ditto), 6 hours(sometimes fall asleep, will fall asleep later that day), 7 hours(will be groggy, sometimes fall asleep later that day), 8 hours(just groggy). It's all pretty shitty until I hit at least 9.

That's slavery.

This. Short of being paid godly amounts of money there is no way I'd do that shit.

Fuck. I fell asleep around 12:30PM and woke up around 5:30PM after turning off my alarm at 3:30PM. I was in such a horrible state when I was being woken up by my alarm at 3:30 that I didn't even think about how it was absolutely necessary for me to get up. I had some really shitty dreams too. They made me all stressed out for a short bit.
