General BAD

Angry. That is the only emotion that I feel every single morning as I wake up at 5:20, leave my house at 5:49, as I get on my bus at 5:57 and as I arrive at General Scrap at 6:23. Yes General Scrap, that's where I work... just wanna throw that out there... it's called General Scrap. I really am surprised at my own emotion though because 5:49am does seem just a tad early to have any emotion at all... nevermind such a strong one such as anger. I do surprise myself, I must say.
Moving on. The focal point of this here blog is not the anger that I feel in the wee hours of the morning as I start my day at work, it is however, the fact that I can not function as a normal human being with normal human emotions at that time of day.
*Side note: As I just wrote that I am reminded of a lady in Vanuatu who approached me asking me to pray for her child who was "not normal". Crazy story. Ask me about it if you want to lol. I'm sorry I just got distracted by my own self.
As I sit at my desk staring at my computer screen, blinking with an ever-so-slow shutter speed on my eyelids, the things crossing my mind are these:
a) Absolutely nothing. I've heard that females do not have a "nothing box" but at 6:30 am I beg to disagree.
b) Sleep. Sometimes my heart hurts with longing for my bed.
c) Hate for General Scrap. At times profanity runs through my brain directed at General Scrap itself, the uncouth noises my chair makes every time I take a breath, the tiny heater under my desk that does not keep me warm, the fact that I'm a temp and I have to be the hardest core employee at work at 6:30am alone, etc. etc.
I would say the list goes on, but the list really doesn't go on because I don't think my brain could muster up anything else to focus on. Funny that I don't think about if there's any work to do hey? Ha. There is one other thing that I will admit DOES cross my mind only because I can't say that anger and tiredness are my favorite things; How can I wake up?
As I started writing this blog, the intent was to discuss how I have had to start drinking coffee to awaken myself, even though I absolutely despise it and basically dry-heave through every sip but turns out, I got completely carried away with negativity about my job. I wanted to outline why coffee is, in fact, a horrible drink and makes your breath smell, puts ugly coffee rings on papers and desks, not to mention just tastes bad in general. I guess in any direction this could have gone it was bound to be negative.
Well... case and point. I was angry when I got up this morning, I'm angry drinking coffee right now, and well... I think I'll continue to be angry until lunch time at 11 when I might start to wake up.
In conclusion don't ever work at General Scrap it will bring down your overall enjoyment of life and... I'm sorry about this poorly written and disjointed blog :S
Have a nice day :)
Peace.
