This is really just a vent session, because I know almost everyone here will know exactly what I mean when I say that I'm more than just a little tired.
This morning I got home around 0800 from my 3rd 12.5-13 hour shift in a row. Then I woke up at 2 in an attempt to go out and be an interesting person. My boyfriend wants us to clean the house, go to 3 different places to get errands done, then go shopping for fun. Lately he's been getting upset that I'm indecisive about what I even feel like doing. Honestly, I don't feel like doing anything other than reading or watching Netflix or sleeping. He has never worked night shift before. Today I said "babe, I literally got home from work this morning--I worked this entire morning. What would you do if you had just worked this entire morning?"
To which he replied "well that wouldn't bother me at all!"
*eye roll*
Oh well. I'll just pout in my booth while I munch on the peanuts at the restaurant I didn't realize we were even going to (because I fell asleep in the car and woke up here). Ha.

That is not really correct. The OP has a relationship problem -- and working night shifts has brought it to the surface. Night shift has helped her to identify this problem before she married this guy.
