I am a morning person. I set an alarm but have only used it a couple of times. Even then, it is just really low music so that I eventually hear it and gently wake up.
This weekend for whatever reason, I was on sleep mode. Slept until 5:30 am on Saturday morning and who knows how long I would have slept on Sunday morning... I was awakened by my phone. My ring tone is not a beep, or cricket chirp, or some song I like. Nope. It is a recording of Lani Diane Rich saying, 'No. No. No. Dear gods, NO!' It generally makes me and anyone who hears it laugh. But I wasn't laughing Sunday, not at 4:45 in the morning when I'm deep in sleep.
I have a new respect for night people. Being jarred out of sleep that way is inhumane. I could not function for hours after. People do this kind of wake up every day of their lives. I am so glad I'm a morning person. I hope to never be woken up like that again.
One day I left my phone at work and asked a co-worker to just put it in one of my drawers for me. Oh how I wished I knew when the cleaning people came in. Can you imagine how quickly they'd clear out of the place if they were cleaning and heard a muffled, "No. No. No. Dear gods, NO!"
Yes, I am evil.

I had photos, but they were either blurry or dark. But trust me he is home.
Glad your Lord of the Oceans has returned.
ReplyDeleteGreat ring tone.
I hate being wakened abruptly from a deep sleep. Unfortunately it happens often to me as I'm not a morning person. It's actually why I'm up this early. The phone woke me. Jarred me right out of a good dream that I now can't remember.
I'll go back to bed and sleep a couple more hours, but it won't be the same. Meep.
Was someone dying? Because that's the only reason I can think to justify a phone call at 4:45 a.m. Also, 5:30 is sleeping late? Good gracious.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of cleaning people hearing disembodied NOs. How on earth did you get that ring tone?
Waking up is just DIFFICULT no matter what time I try to do it.

Delia - Lani / Lucy and Alastair have a podcast 'Storywonk' and on one of the programs Alastair said something that Lucy/Lani disagreed with and she said,"No. No...." I loved it so much I asked for the clip. They had to recreate it but it is still funny.
ReplyDeleteI have so much more respect for night people now. The ones that come dragging into work an hour or three late and STILL aren't awake.
