Every time I try to make plans for us, they get pushed back and pushed back until it's just no longer possible for the plans to happen. Even if it's as simple as trying to watch a show on Hulu. We've been pushing that back for 3 days now. And guess what? It has to be pushed back again.

Every single time we make plans, he gets called in to work. I mean, yeah, this is what he signed up for, but still. He got off work at 6 this morning, had to be back in at 2 in the afternoon {an 8 hour turnaround} and now just a call to go somewhere else after he's done with this shift. That's a turnaround into a double. When is this man going to be allowed to sleep for more than 4 hours? And when are you going to let him hang out with me for more than the 4 hours that he has to sleep.

My schedule is set. I work 6am-2pm Wednesday and 2pm-10pm Thursday through Sunday with Monday and Tuesday off. It's almost like they know I have those two days off and are purposely scheduling him so that we have no time to hang out together or sleep together for more than a few hours. Last week he was working grave shift and 5 hours after he got home I was waking up to leave for work. Then he'd be gone before I even got home.

I supposed I have to get used to sleeping alone because he's asking for a grave shift so that he can go to school. And us not being able to hang out, I have to get used to as well since with school and work, we will barely have time to see each other, let alone hang out.

I need to stop getting my hopes up about being with him. Even if it is for just a day. Apparently that's too much to ask for. It's like I'm living with a roommate that I never see. Not my fiance. Couples are supposed to sleep together at least a few times a week and go out at least a few times a month. I don't even think we've got that going. It'll be worse once school starts.

What am I supposed to do?

Sorry I'm behind, but what does he do?

Oh man, that sounds stressful.

Definitely sounds like a difficult time, but it won't last forever, and I think you might appreciate it more when you do manage to have time together as a result.

Can you take any classes with him? If it would be possible with your schedule then it could be nice for both of you.

Oh, and in reply to your comment: She looked more or less like what she does in real life. Sometimes people in my dreams don't have very distinctive faces unless they're close or important to me. I've had Nutang-related dreams before, albeit not often, and I think only two members have actually been featured in their physical forms. (The rest were, of course, merely online entities)

Sometimes, it suck to make plans and not being able to actually do them. I'm sure you'll be able to find your way around this situation soon. You guys probably won't be able to really hang out for sometime but at least you guys have each other and should probably get the same days off

Ah, my friend Gregg has that same job. I was telling my friends, "Yeah, Gregg said he might come to the party if he didn't get called in to work." and they laughed and said, "That means he isn't coming."
It really sucks because like you said he never knows when he's going to work and it seems like he works ALL the TIME! So if he's good enough, will they give him regular hours? Is that what he's trying to do-- get the graveyard shift so that he can have regular hours to go to school?

Still, I wish I had a fiance. :3
