asphaltcowgrrlOkay, disclaimer: I'm exhausted today. Never mind how much stress I'm under at the moment. So, if this comes off exceedingly bitchy, I apologize.
The majority of my friends are all in different time zones. The closest is my BFF who is an hour ahead of me half the year (she lives in Arizona which doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time, so when we spring forward, she stays stationary). Everyone else is two or more hours ahead of me. Or, if you're H, 19 hours ahead. Although, in her defense, she's never called me either. LOL
Anyway, since I know I'm not on the same time as most people, I'm very diligent about checking the time before I text or call. While I know that you can easily ignore a text, I don't want someone to feel like they have to respond to me when it's bedtime for them. Or dinnertime. Apparently, a certain friend of mine isn't nearly as thoughtful because she started texting me at 5:30 this morning. I mean, I was awake - I've been up since 3:30 to be honest - but it just annoyed the hell out of me.
Am I wrong for being annoyed? It just bugs me because I feel guilty ignoring her texts, even when I'm trying to make dinner or am getting ready for bed. Maybe I care too much or maybe my mother did a number on me in regards to not offending people. Hell, I don't even know any longer.
On the bright side, LJ notified me that today is Zayne's birthday. I had to choose one to set up his journal and apparently I picked April 9th. So um, happy birthday, cowboy.
Now, I'm going to try and keep myself occupied so I don't fall asleep at my desk. Hahaha. And I promise, I'll try and stop with all these shitty posts. Oh, and if I changed my name on my journal to Cranjis McBasketball, do you think anyone would notice? Asking for a friend.
(Told you I was tired.)

Date: 2019-04-09 05:18 pm (UTC)Sadly, I'm up even earlier than that, although my 3:30 mornings are now down to 2! (And yes, I'm counting!) But I do appreciate it. And for future reference, I start work at 7:30, so that's acceptable as well. :D
The weird thing is, all she was texting about is what a gross pig her cat is. This couldn't have waited? You're right though, because she's notorious for texting to ask how my day or week has been. If I tell her I had a good day or week (which I generally do, these past couple not withstanding), she goes suspiciously silent. It's like she wants me to have a bad day so she can dump her bad day on me, too.
I need new friends. LOL
I've lost track of him already, so all bets are off on the partying. If I start hearing mariachi music, I'm calling Andy.

She sounds like a real peach.
Like K said you can bug me anytime next week. Might take me a bit to get back to you because of work, but rant at all you want.
If I hear trumpets, I'm heading for the hills. *gives cowboy the stink eye*

Date: 2019-04-10 06:19 pm (UTC)Right? Seems like most of us were taught that certain hours were off limits, which makes sense.
I've known her for about 15 years and I swear, she's gone off the damn deep end lately. I used to joke that I was flypaper for drama queens and it seems like I need to dust off that mantle again.
Thanks, I really do appreciate it. And even if you weren't working, I'd never expect an immediate response. :)
Hahaha... he returned home early this morning, looking a little worse for wear, but he was in one piece, so that's good?

Jay, Jake and the girls just laughed at him.
Zayne flipped them all off and crawled off to bed in his room snuggling Jay's purple elephant.
