"Ryan! Get up, you're going to be late for your interview!" my mom called urgently.

"Ugh" I groaned, rolling over and pulling the covers over my head.

Work really sucks. I mean, I haven't even gotten the job yet and they're already forcing me to wake up early. And I thought school was bad!

"Ten more minutes mom…" I called, still half asleep, not wanting to leave the comfort of my nice warm bed.

"That's it!" I heard her exclaim before barging into my room and whipping the blanket off of me. How rude.

"Hey! What was that for?" I asked, more than a little miffed at the loss of warmth.

"I've been calling you for twenty minutes! Your interview starts in ten minutes! Your father may let you lounge around the house all day but I'm putting my foot down! You're not a baby anymore Ryan, you're twenty years old! It's time for you to get a job like the rest of us." Mom exclaimed, visibly upset.

This ultimatum was nothing new, as I heard it at least five times a day. As a matter of fact, I have it almost memorized. I think that mom has this idea that if she keeps saying it, I will finally get fed up with hearing it and do something about it. But she couldn't be more wrong.

"Fine. Get out of my room!" I huffed, wanting to go back to bed. It was nine o clock in the morning for crying out loud! What boss willingly wakes up at this ridiculous hour and makes their employees- or more fitting for my case, possible employees- suffer?

"I'm not leaving this room until you're on your feet" She asserted, hands on her hips.

If there was something I hated more than waking up before noon, it was getting into

fights before noon, especially fights with my mother. Her incessant nagging would be enough to make any sane person go crazy.

"I'm up, I'm up" I stated, standing up and walking towards my closet.

She gave me one last searing, soul-searching gaze before leaving my room, throwing a quick "Wear something nice" over her shoulder as she went.

Muttering "Women" under my breath, I shut the door behind her and began to get dressed. This day could not get any worse and it hadn't even started yet.
