h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It’s difficult being the only one in your circle of friends and family who has to work. You are stuck on a normal schedule. Get up at 4:30 or 5:00 am. Get dressed. Rush off to a job you hate. Come home twelve hours later to find out that everyone else is just getting started for the day. Attempt to unwind. Do household. Finish dinner at ten, let your food settle a bit and fall over by midnight. Wake up and start all over again. The weekend comes and you’re to poor to do anything and you’re on a different schedule then anyone else.

So you think of things to do. You have one and only one activity that can be shared with this group you live with. For weeks you have suggested a good old fashioned song circle. It is one of the few things that allows you to slip back to simpler less stressing times. So finally it happens except you aren’t invited. It happens during the four hours you have fallen over do to sheer exhaustion. You wander out at your normal time. Catch a tune or tune and the music stops. “She’s awake. Time for all of us to go to sleep.” Everyone laughs but you.

Oh yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day.

wtf? I'll call.
