Early Bird

Okay, so here is the thing. I write these post while I’m at work, it gives me something to do, and makes time go by a little faster. I work from 12am to 8am, then post these when I get home in the morning. It is now 3:38am and I have been thinking about all the things I could complain about today. This is what I hear, the humming of the large machines, sometimes a whistle that blows and lets the steam out (much like a kettle) and then you have this one bird. Now I like birds, and they always say “The Early Bird Gets the Worm” but for crying out loud why is it every and I mean every night right around 3:30am this same freaking bird starts screaming. And its not just a little twittering of a song, that bird really gets going. It is so loud that whenever I’m on the phone with like my insomniac mother who is, I swear, going half deaf, she can here this freaking bird over the damn phone. I just don’t get it! The sun has hours before it comes up, even “most” rosters wait till then. But not this silly little bird that drives me mad half the night. I could understand if it was like an owl, but this is no owl I know what they sound like. I’m not sure what in the world this thing is, though if I had to guess, I’m thinking it’s a robin. Maybe it has sleeping issues and is lonely so it starts waking all the other little birdies up. Around 4am there will be a small choir of them going back and forth at one another. Then around 5am it settles down and you get a bit of silence, but only a bit cause right about 5:30 to 6am they all start up and though I leave at 8 I would assume they don’t stop till nightfall. Then again it might just be me. Do birds always start stirring around 3 to 3:30am and I’ve never noticed before till this one started irritating the holy crap out of me? Or is this really a psycho insomniac bird that wants late night company?
