I hate taking phone calls when I’ve just woken up. I’m never thinking clearly, and I usually make stupid decisions. So I have learned to try to delay such decisions when I’m woken up by a phone call.
This morning I got a phone call when I had already been awake for about 10 minutes. I was still wiping the sand out of my eyes, and had only had a few sips of my energy drink. The phone was actually still plugged in at my bedside when it rang and I had to go get it.
But please, when waking me up, or with the possibility of waking me up, especially when I don’t have a job and have no reason to leave the house, here’s a tip of how to approach me to ensure that I am in the right frame of mind when considering your request:
BAD:
“My friend was supposed to do this festival…”
GOOD:
“For $500 a day, would you be interested in…”
