I stayed up until 4:00 AM last night and set my alarm clock for 1:30 PM because I wasn't scheduled to work until 3:00 PM today. However, the phone started ringing off the hook at 8:00 AM. Every single time it jolted me awake and I would listen to person leaving the message on the answering machine before deciding it wasn't important and then going back to sleep only for the phone to ring
again, jolting me back awake like half an hour later. I finally gave up trying to sleep and got out of bed at noon. Ironically, the phone hasn't rung since, but it doesn't even matter because the possibility for me to get a decent night of sleep has already been ruined. As if that isn't bad enough, two of the calls are from my brother's employer asking him to come in on his day off to cover for someone who called in sick, but by the time he woke up and called them at 1:30 PM, they had already decided to close down for the day. Two more calls are from my own employer asking me to come in early, but not even to cover for someone ASAP. They just decided to wake me up in the middle of the morning to ask if I could come in at 2:45 instead of 3:00.
I don't know which two, but two of the calls even interupted dreams that I was
very interested in finishing. One of them was me on some sort of Prince of Persia type obstacle course in which I was either chasing someone, being chased, or looking for some significant item. The second time I was watching a female assassin being ambushed by enemy soldiers, right before making her escape around a corner. After the soldiers had left I walked around the same corner and then decided to go to the bathroom in a public bathroom. Upon entering, I discovered that the female assassin was taking a shower in one of the toilet stalls

. Then she opened the door to let me in and upon discovering that we were both naked for some reason, we started having sex right there.
My girlfriend recently got a ticket while driving home at night after work. The ticket was for not having her headlights on, but when the cop looked at her license he started questioning her ridiculously. She has a Michigan license, and the cop told her that if she accepts employment in the state of Florida she has to get a Florida license. He told her that it was a felony and that he could take her into jail if he wanted, and he kept accusing her of lying to him about why she had a Michigan license. Needless to say, she was pretty upset.
He ended up letting her go, but the kicker is he wasn't even correct; since she's a full-time student she doesn't need to change her license. I really hate cops sometimes. They can be such pricks.
Unfortunately, the police force and military are appealing to the types of people who need to compensate for a sense of inadequacy by putting themselves in a position of power and imposing their perceived dominance on others. I can't even think of an effective way to screen for these types of people, because we can't really afford to have a police force and military full of push overs, either.
