#probably wouldnt even have gotten a text if my cat didnt wale me up stupid early

Had my first run in with the sleep paralysis demon so no overtime for me ¯⁠\⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠/⁠¯

#there was a last minute call off #probably wouldnt even have gotten a text if my cat didnt wale me up stupid early #well i was resting trying to decide #gave myself until 9 to get back to my boss #well 9 came and i was awake but unable to move #which ok ive had sleep paralysis before just need more rest #felt like someone was in the room with me #except i shut the door b/c cat bit me hard earlier so hes in time out #and bf shouldnt be getting home until way later #brain interpretted this as an intruder was in the room with me #felt like someone held my hands down and i started panicking #tried to call for help but couldnt #at first couldnt open my mouth then i felt like i was but i couldnt make sound #eyes were still shut btw #laid there panicking for like a minute or two thinking i was getting got #finally realized no one was there #made up my mind that i was NOT up for any overtime despite what my wallet might think #finally wake up enough to (politely) text my boss no #anyway im shook #hopefully i can get a few more hours of sleep in #and maybe ill get another call for overtime #i probably would go if either i had more notice #or it wasnt my sleeping day after my three twelve hour shifts #just bad timing #anyway
