How I feel seeing all these "This is me at 8am Class posts" as a recent graduate who works at 7AM everyday

shnoog · 2012-09-05T23:53:59+00:00

There will always be someone who starts earlier than you. The trick is to not assume anyone else gives a fuck.

arcaida · 2012-09-06T01:08:40+00:00

That gif was so HD, his voice penetrated my mind.

stuffmeister217 · 2012-09-06T00:13:45+00:00

As someone who wakes up at 2:10 am everyday for work, it bugs me when anyone complains about waking up early.

matthewalan8 · 2012-09-06T01:19:01+00:00

Early is always subjective and dependent on when you go to sleep.

Jewsee · 2012-09-05T19:50:27-07:00

An employed recent graduate? How does one become one of those?

Swissgiant · 2012-09-06T02:06:42+00:00

In this thread we all insult each other and bitch about our schedules.

Treblo · 2012-09-06T02:22:33+00:00

What if I told you

byobguy · 2012-09-06T01:02:16+00:00

Military school taught me not to bitch about waking up early for stupid bullshit.

Scumbag-Redditor · 2012-09-06T01:18:37+00:00

This sums up how I feel about your feeling

SnideJaden · 2012-09-06T01:36:29+00:00

Getting paid to get up early VS paying to get up early

darchangel · 2012-09-06T01:22:21+00:00

I also don't get summer breaks off, I don't get skip days, attendance is required, and if I screw up I don't just get to try again next semester.

NedDasty · 2012-09-06T02:47:30+00:00

That is a very high quality animated gif.

try military where i work at "why the fuck is it still dark out"

rony43 · 2012-09-05T18:37:06-07:00

As an intern who has to be in the hospital 5am-7pm, I sometimes dream about getting to wake up at 8

Yeah but after you graduate you automatically gain adult abilities like the wake up early and not feel shit perk right?.......right?

Elessar20 · 2012-09-06T02:07:36+00:00

Going to work != sitting in university.

Trust me, I worked for 1.5 years and stood up over 12 months at 3 am for work. You can work with 4-5 hours of sleep but you can't study. If I go to the university with less than 8 h of sleep I could literally stay at home... :/

LegendaryPunk · 2012-09-06T02:11:10+00:00

I work the overnight shift at a hospital. I don't clock OUT until 8:00am.

ledzep4life · 2012-09-05T19:20:35-07:00

My work day is almost half way over by the time most people drag their asses out of bed.

Obnoxious_ismyname · 2012-09-06T02:49:58+00:00

I have about the same reaction, but I'm a college student waking up at 5 for ROTC pt

rdylant · 2012-09-05T19:56:55-07:00

I work at a golf course -- seven days a week. I wake up between 5:00-5:30 AM every day. I have to be at work at 6:00 AM. I get off at 3:00 PM. When there's a tournament, we work a few days from six to nine (at night) or so. Having just started, I get to do the majority of the "grunt work" (which, for the most part, is weed-eating for eight hours). Today I didn't have to weed-eat. It was a good day.

I don't have a college degree. I make $8.25 an hour.

e: And I have a very hard time sleeping at night. I've been trying different things (melatonin, Nyquil, Tylenol PM, etc.). Nothing seems to help. I definitely exhaust myself during the day, but when it's time to wind down for the night I just can't.

GangsterObama · 2012-09-05T20:15:41-07:00

Go to college.

I didn't.

I work at a Steel yard.

I start work at 4am

Diabeetus.

Saasaan · 2012-09-06T02:15:19+00:00

I wake up at 430 every day for work, and get home from school between 6 and 10pm. People are right, early usually is subjective. However, when you have an eighteen hour day, and have six hours before you have to be up to do it again, I would say at that point that 430 is objectively early.

BarbecuedDumplings · 2012-09-05T19:24:00-07:00

That gif is silky smooth.

Rlysrh · 2012-09-05T18:44:05-07:00

Holy shit this is one of the highest quality gifs I've ever seen.

chaymoney86 · 2012-09-05T18:34:36-07:00

7am???? I wish. I have to work at 4/5/6 am depending on the day.

ProctorBoamah · 2012-09-05T19:08:57-07:00

Thank you. I was expecting the condescending Willy Wonka and was pleasantly surprised.

forceheretic · 2012-09-06T02:21:14+00:00

Upvote for Morgan Freeman, second, imaginary upvote for Shawshank, and another imaginary upvote for someone else who starts work at 7 am.

Gatortusk · 2012-09-05T19:24:01-07:00

As a fellow early riser in the workforce, I salute you sir.

That's a nice looking .gif my fren.

randumnumber · 2012-09-05T19:49:03-07:00

Amen brother, I wake up every day at 630 and work 8-10 hours. Like a good worker bee.

Genasai · 2012-09-05T19:54:23-07:00

Worked production on a factory line this summer. 60 hour weeks and I had to be there at 3:30 every morning.

xenodius · 2012-09-06T02:54:44+00:00

My wife works at 1:45AM in a bakery, doing hard physical labor for 9-10 hours a day on "40-hour week" salary.

I'm sorry for one-upping you, but 7am just isn't that early. I got up at 5AM today. It just depends on when you sleep.

captainamerica24 · 2012-09-06T02:56:00+00:00

As a teacher, yes, a million times!

l0st_t0y · 2012-09-05T19:56:05-07:00

this is how I feel about all these people saying that when I get up at 5 for swim practice hahha

Guppy-Warrior · 2012-09-05T19:56:19-07:00

Airlines . . 4-5am on a regular basis. sometimes earlier. up to 14+ hr days 99% of the time.

spilurum · 2012-09-06T03:00:16+00:00

How I feel as a former infantryman who spent more time worrying about finding time to sleep rather than when would I wake up; http://i.imgur.com/9i7qC.jpg

sbalz · 2012-09-06T05:49:32+00:00

I posted this in another one of these "suck it up" threads. I used to get up at 7 to be at school by 8 (I was a commuter). Then I was in class till 2 when I had just enough time to go eat shit from people at my retail job till 9pm. This semester I work 6 days a week generally, and right now im a little over half way working through 13 straight days plus classes. Point being, when you have 13 hour days, getting up at 8 sucks. And I have it better than most people in the world, which is why I don't bitch about working anymore. People in the US don't have jobs and/or don't have the chance to go to school. And that doesn't even touch on other countries. My dad's motto is that it could always be worse, and it certainly always could be.

rosamor86 · 2012-09-06T01:53:21+00:00

As a mother who wakes up at 1am, 4am, and 7am to feed my daughter, I really don't feel sorry for you.

ReadySetKill · 2012-09-06T02:00:02+00:00

It is much easier when they pay you money instead of just showing up to a class when there really isn't much at stake and you are hungover.

cbk88 · 2012-09-05T17:07:48-07:00

I start work at 6 a.m. all this week...but it's better than the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift!

NickDouglas · 2012-09-05T22:45:47+00:00

I'll give you two guesses about whether I give a shit.

I wake up at 4:30 every morning to go work at a sewer plant. Every day. Weekends, holidays. Every. Single. Day.

CarlOffDuty · 2012-09-06T01:57:44+00:00

Those college kids just go right back to bed anyways, who can't have a cup of coffee and fake a stare for an hour and a half..

DressagePrincess · 2012-09-06T01:13:13+00:00

THANK YOU. I work at an equestrian college and my students are up and in the barns at 530am. 8am is fucking lunch time.

user_name2 · 2012-09-06T02:55:01+00:00

I don't get it. In High School we weren't allowed to complain about 7:30 classes, in the work force we aren't allowed to complain about 8:30 shifts, but when we were in college we could just bitch and moan about how our 40,000-dollar-tuition college were soo hard. It seems reddit is mostly college kids who downvote anything they don't like to hear.

OsamaBinMcAwesome · 2012-09-05T18:45:09-07:00

I would sell my soul for 8am class.

ArchangelleCockSuckr · 2012-09-05T18:54:59-07:00

As a college grad who is working as a construction laborer...

Nah, fuck it.

musical_note · 2012-09-05T19:06:53-07:00

you know, we have late start, so school starts at 8:00 am only on Thursdays, at that makes us so happy.

Crimthaan · 2012-09-05T19:10:42-07:00

Yeahh....I think I woke up at 9:30 EST today....yahhhh..

hitmenow · 2012-09-05T19:15:58-07:00

I go to work at 9pm and get off at 7am..

Arphahat · 2012-09-05T19:16:25-07:00

So, growing up, I stared elementary school pretty early in the morning. But, not as early as middle school. And, high school was the earliest of them all. I had been trained to get up early.

Then, college, where you get up whenever you feel like, and can stay up all night destroys that habit.

Then, you graduate and enter the workforce, where it is expected that you get up at least as early as a high-schooler.

So, college freshmen, beware! Don't lose your "getting up early in the morning" powers!

HogwartsNeedsWifi · 2012-09-06T02:22:14+00:00

I have work at 5:30 during the week, and 5 on weekends. Get at me.

slipperyfist · 2012-09-05T19:23:43-07:00

As someone who doesn't have to go into work until 4 PM, I'm equally amused by all of this.

bluesmurf · 2012-09-05T19:24:47-07:00

Did you really need it animated?

losesomeweight · 2012-09-05T19:26:42-07:00

almost perfectly looped

bryanl12 · 2012-09-05T19:35:00-07:00

Don't forget 8 A.M. is around the same time they had to go to grade school.

TheDude66 · 2012-09-05T19:36:57-07:00

as someone who has worked at 7 am, at least you get out of work earlier.

Silversol99 · 2012-09-05T19:40:10-07:00

I got up at 10am to do nothing all day. I don't give a shit either.

notoriousmunkee · 2012-09-06T02:43:09+00:00

where are these threads at?

Emeraldchimera · 2012-09-05T19:43:37-07:00

I despise people who complain about having to wake up at seven or eight. I have to be at school at 7, and it's a half hour away. Depending on how long I take to get ready, I have to wake up at 5:30-6:00 AM

flyingsephyrage · 2012-09-05T19:45:58-07:00

This. All of this every goddamn morning.

deceptiveVI · 2012-09-06T02:47:20+00:00

Just graduated as well. Go in at 6:45am, and I consider my once a week 7:45am start time as the day i get to "sleep in"........I miss college

duddle · 2012-09-05T19:47:23-07:00

try getting up at 3:50 its not easy

Nemoswang · 2012-09-06T02:47:58+00:00

I'm going to school for meat processing my normal class time is 8am. On kill days it's 7am. I live an hour or so away from campus.

Sythus · 2012-09-05T19:48:11-07:00

7am? Woa is you. That must be rough.

Omfgidk756 · 2012-09-06T02:48:25+00:00

Not sure why anyone, even the 2am people, thinks that them waking up that early matters. It all depends on when you go to bed, and how much sleep you get. Waking up after 6 hours of sleep sucks, no matter the time.

mexus37 · 2012-09-05T19:48:36-07:00

I work at 5am so you can all shut the hell up.

maegos · 2012-09-05T19:48:53-07:00

Shit fuck yeah! getting 3 kids off to school and me looking raggedy crawling into work @ 7

vtcapsfan · 2012-09-05T19:49:04-07:00

This makes me appreciate my software development job, don't even wake up till 815..work 9-530

MorbidMax · 2012-09-06T02:49:35+00:00

When I worked loading the trucks at UPS I had to get up at 3 and be there by 3:30.

Granted I did get off at like 7 most days (Part time college job).

E: it's the best college job one could ask for IMO. You get a workout, insurance, and above average pay.

promiseme13 · 2012-09-06T02:49:51+00:00

As a college student who works at 7am on my days off; I agree!

However I still am sleepy; my body refuses to shut down before 11:30-12; even when I wake up at 5:45 for work and school.

Timpetrim · 2012-09-06T02:49:55+00:00

I work at 6 am every day and my wife, who just started Medical school now has classes at 8 am every day after sending 2 yeras doi g her masters where she didnt have a schedule...

I read this in Morgan Freeman's voice.

vanillaafro · 2012-09-06T02:51:22+00:00

it's not about getting up early it's about having a job/class/whatever that takes so friggin long that you can't sleep enough....so really the only people that should be pissed are those people...i'm lucky enough to not be one of them so i'm no complaining

ar92 · 2012-09-06T02:51:56+00:00

As someone who works from 6am - 1pm and has class from 2-5 every day, seconded. I have to be ready for a daily department meeting at 8am.

engiRoosevelt · 2012-09-06T02:51:57+00:00

I'm quite awake for my 830 am class. It's my classes at like 5pm that I start dozing off in.

GuanoQuesadilla · 2012-09-06T02:54:17+00:00

How I feel seeing this as a Menard's morning stocker who works at 5AM, 6 days a week.

3rdLevelRogue · 2012-09-05T19:54:45-07:00

All it requires is the magic trick of extra sleep. Set alarm 1 hour before you MUST get up. Set an alarm when you must. First one wakes you up and "Holy shit! I got another hour of sleep!" Trick myself every time.

shirafoo · 2012-09-05T19:55:36-07:00

My boyfriend spent the entire summer waking up at 4:30am to get to work in order to start at 6am. Today he called sleeping until 7 to make his 8:30 class "sleeping in" and "a relief".

Girafferra · 2012-09-05T19:55:57-07:00

I had a 4am class (ornithology) one semester. That's what I keep thinking of every time I see these whiney 8AM posts.

Isingforasspixs · 2012-09-05T19:56:08-07:00

I read that, and heard his voice

tombutt · 2012-09-06T02:56:11+00:00

I used to generally wake up around 2 pm or so but then i got a job at the winery and got used to waking up at 5:45 every morning. Now 8:30 classes are a fucking breeze.

G1Pringle · 2012-09-06T02:57:19+00:00

As a highschooler who has to be in class everyday before 8 I feel the same way
