we are not on the same schedule

I call my friend Linda at nine a.m.
she is probably sleeping
I leave her a couple of messages
get no reply

she calls me around ten pm
this wakes me up and irritates me
I do not answer,
not wanting to encourage her to call me this late

we are not on the same schedule
I doubt we ever will be
I cannot imagine sleeping past eight=thirty in the morning
I am usually up at six

She begins partying at ten p.m.
several hours after I turn my phone off for the night
