the pain of waking up at 4 am

It's been 4 days since I have to work at 5:30 am...yeah 5:30 am! since I don't drive, most of the time I take bus or get a ride with my roommate. For this couple days, as I need to time those people on the assembly line, I have to be there before they start (6 am). So, I checked on the website for my bus schedule and I found out that the earliest bus leaves at 4:56 am and the next one is 5:23 am. Since I don't want to take the chance of being late, I take the earliest one....Let me tell you....getting up at 4 am is really a pain in the #$%. There're couple days when I feel like I want to call in sick and just continue with my deep slumber....but so far, I'm still waking up at 4:05 am. Not bad for a night owl like me...yeah....I used to be a night owl....won't go to bed before 12 am. That was during my school year though.....so sad....My ex-roommate when she knew I have to sleep around 9:30-10 pm, she was laughing and teasing me about my old habit. Oh well....we have to change if the situation calls for it :)

After 4 days, it's not really that bad. The hardest time is around 7-9 am before break because during that time, I've counted myself almost falling asleep while taking the data. The nicest part about working early is that I can go home early :) Usually I go home around 2:15 pm and get home around 3:30 pm....which is really nice. But I don't think I want to wake up this early again...no thanks...4 times are enough for me... Oh for people living in seattle area, this website is pretty useful. I check that website for information regarding what bus to take and also the bus schedule. 3 more hours to go before i go home.....blah still a long time to go :(
