And then people wonder why I’m tired?

On the good: SP #3 has not shceduled me to be on call this week (barring the kafluffle on Monday) except this coming Saturday and possibly Sunday – and he gave me advance notice for them

On the bad: If I’m not on call Sp#3 you should really NOT be calling me between the hours of 9:00pm and 3:00am. No, you should not. Because I’m not on call. And if I don’t answer my mobile, it’s because I am ignoring you. It’s not an invitation to use the landline – yes we do have a phone by the bed, no it doesn’t have it’s ringer turned off (except weekend m0rnings) because if someone rings us at 2:00am it’s usually because it’s a desperate, raging emergency and we’re fine to be woken in these conditions. And yes, we, because the phone by the side of the bed woke Beloved as well. Why wouldn’t it? Wait, don’t aswer that I’m already pissed enough

This? Was not an emergency. You’re lucky I picked up the phone before Beloved (and he tried, swearing copiously, but it’s at my side of the bed)

Also, if it were an emergency, it would be YOUR emergency, not mine. It can be my emergency when I’m paid as much as you, ‘kay thanks.

In related news – cat you are not helping matters. In the bedroom or OUT please. Constant scrabbling to come in and then scrabbling to go out is annoying. Of course we can leave the door ajar so you can get in or out -but you want it OPEN. So will PUSH it until it is large enough to fit a herd of hippopotamuses. Muses? Hippopotami? Whatever, hippos. Big ones.  And this is annoying, yes yes it is. Who can sleep with wide open doors?

Also, the hours between 1:00am and 5:00am are not the time for hugs, no furball, they are not. No face nuzzling, poking or whining while I’m sleeping – especially since waking up to find a fanged maw within an inch of my face is not a good thing. No no it isn’t. Also, enough of the nocturnal vomiting. Do you know how vexing it is to hear a cat being sick in a dark house and know you have to find it – but that there’s a lot of carpet to walk over between you and the lightswitch?

Beloved – should said furball nuzzle you for the huggings, you do not pick up furball and drop her on me. Especially not my head. She’s your cat too. Yes, even when we’re trying to sleep.

Also, Beloved, are you break dancing or fighting a legion of ninjas in your sleep? I’m trying to figure it out based on the sheets strangling me, the duvet turned by 90 degrees, the pillows scattered throughout the neighbourhood, let alone the bed and the fact if you don’t lie still for 5 minutes I am going to suffocate you while you sleep. How did you manage to get UNDER the bottom sheet? Couldn’t you snore or something? I could deal with snoring. It depresses me that there’s so much movement going on in our bed for so little purpose, yes yes it does.
