I was sound asleep when I was woken up by my cell phone at 8:00 this morning. I look at it and it says I have two missed calls from the same number, though I didn't recognize the number. Last two times someone called me at this time was to tell me that my Grandpa died, and then to tell me that my dog was going to be put down, so finding that I had two missed calls was scaring the crap out of me. As I went to the living room to return the call I was thinking that my dad or brother-in-law had died or something terrifying like that. I called the number... and it was the PS Blood Bank trying to make an appointment!:mumble: For Christ's sake, don't call anyone at that time unless it's really, really important. Gave me a freaking heart attack over nothing.:mad:

careful grandpa, you could have a stroke if you get too worked up.
I'm going to have an aneurism and will make sure that my head explodes in your immediate vicinity, splattering you with festering senile cells, saliva and blood filled with aging hormones. You will shrivel like a grape on a hotplate!
:nuts:

My buddy calls me really early on weekends, just to piss me off.

8:00 is *late*......... :think:
not if you're a student. :mumble:
Don't get me wrong, I've worked plenty of midnight shifts, I know what it's like to live a night life. I just never get calls at this time unless it's really bad news.

No kidding. People, who don't work the night shift, typically wake up before 8:00 a.m.
My roommate just woke up half an hour ago. I typically wake up around 8, unless I have class at 8, but nobody calls then.

I have clients all around the globe and get calls at all hours of the day and night. So you getting an 8am call really gets my sympathy up.
Don't you hate that? It drives me insane when i am half asleep, they barely speak english, and it's for some retarded problem. 3 hours minimum, now let me get back to sleep.

Worst however, was when I live din Boulder. I have a govt contractor who wa sa client, and ran 24hrs a day. They'd call at 4am because the "operator" couldn't figure out how to reboot his system, or the owner couldn't get his email. Dear lord, i love my 3 hour minimum for nonsense.
