Alright so every morning my mother comes in my room and wakes me up before my alarm because she doesn't want me to be late for work. I wake up 2 hours before my shift if it's morning shift, which gives me an hour and a half to get ready and half an hour to get to work. The drive only takes 15 minutes and I really don't take a lot of time getting ready. So I end up with a lot of free time in the morning. Time I think would be be spent resting for another half or so. Sadly, my mother insists I be up an hour and a half before I leave, and that I leave 30 minutes before work.
Often her waking me up before my alarm make me cranky, and we argue. I'm just not the type of girl to wake up at 6am, sorry world. Plus when I was in High School she used to wake me up 15 minutes before my alarm. So when I'm tired all I can think is that she woke me up early and I get annoyed.
Starting this week, Wally World goes into it's Xmas hours. That means the store is open 7 to 11 and as a cashier I have shifts starting at 6:45 or ending at 11:45. It annoys me dearly that my manager believes that my being available at 8am normally means that I'm available at 6:45am during Xmas hours. Especially as the winter weather means I have to drive slower, and take extra time in the morning to clean off my car. If waking at 6am bothers me, you can understand how I feel about getting up at 4:45am.
I was complaining to my coworkers about this. How my mother wakes me 2 hours before my shift, how when I'm tired I move slowly, how I REALLY do not want to have to get up at before 5am. So they suggested I simply not tell my parents what my schedule is for the week. It seemed like a logical solution. So I went with it. Today was to be the first day I had work where my parents had not idea when I was scheduled.
Then this morning my father came in at 5am, woke me up, and asked me what time I had to be at work.
My shift today wasn't until 10:30, and since I was staring in a play last night I got to bed a little late. Well not late really, a decent time for someone getting up at 8am. But since my dad didn't know my schedule he woke me up at 5am. I couldn't get back to sleep, and now I'm exhausted. I can barely keep my eyes open, and I'm about to start an 8 hour shift.
I don't know who I'm more frustrated with; My Co-Workers for their bad advice, myself for thinking this would work, my parents, or Wally World for assuming that just because I'm available for 8 normally that I'm willing to come in for 6:45 now.
Next job I have, I'm really going to have to clarify that. Anyway, question, comments, advice on how to defeat my parents?
