    But what about the day off you learn about early enough to go back to bed? Snow days, forgotten/misremembered holidays, power outage at work, etc

      Yeah I love staying up all night and into the morning. Then I sleep all day and wake up in the lte evening, when I’m supposed to be going to sleep for work the next day, and then everything sucks.

      Even getting back late from a business trip, the first night (or whatevers hours are left) are the best part
      I’m happy to be at home and I’m finished for the day

      The days afterwards can even be kinda work free (only doing minor things like accounting and stupid shit like that), but if the stress falls away, I’m usually getting sick and the body demands it’s time to recover
      First night though is one of celebration

        I’m talking tiring physically, doing manual labour and such in addition to just being tired tired. Don’t get to enjoy the first night much if it is lights out once you get home

          My business trips aren’t that fancy

          I am physically exhausted after spending some weeks, practically without a free day, in a fucking warehouse

          I’m always just so happy to be home again and have all the stuff I’ve wanted to do, that I dreamed up during suffering on site.
          But I’m too exhausted to actually do anything…

          Still, the first night is always the best

          Came home last time, after working with a fever/flu again, and just wanted to drop dead.
          But the euphoria of being home again keeps me going for the first night.
          Which pretty much means, I’ll have a few beers and talk with my wife.
          Can’t do anything reasonable, but I really enjoy those few hours

    The opposite of this happened for me on Saturday. I thought I turned my 7am alarm off… until I woke up with a start and confusion. Although I was glad I didn’t have to go anywhere, I couldn’t go back to sleep… so I napped in the afternoon, which was good stuff.

      haha. I woke up one day at 8 (pm) on the couch. it was still light out so I figured I had overslept.
      called my boss in a panic, he no pick up.
      txted him saying I’d be in soon as I could (45 min commute).
      10 mins later I was more awake and realized my mistake I said ‘nm I’ll see you tomorrow’.
      in my defense I was looking at an analog clock on the wall.
      next day he said in the break room ‘oh someone went by the coffeeshop after work yesterday’

      yeh I didn’t hear the end of that one for months
