For somewhere I claim not to like, I manage to put in a hell of a lot of unpaid hours there. I managed 10 and a half today instead of the nine I was paid to do (8.5 if you want to get technical). :duh:
All throughout my time off, I’ve gone to sleep/woken up at strange hours. I went from waking up at midday to falling asleep at midday, and all the times between then. Of course, the day before I went back, I had to wake up at 4PM. So althroughout the night I couldn’t sleep, until I finally drifted off around 6, a whole 90 minutes before my alarm went off. And still managed to wake up 5 minutes before it went off, and actually get out of bed instead of falling asleep again, which never happens.
Being my first day back, I wanted to be there on time, so I left 25 minutes minutes early for a journey that normally takes 10-15. Upon getting there, I found that I was an hour early, as I was due to start at 9:45 instead of 8:45.
Today was incredibly hectic, and normally I would end up completely stressed by this time. We’re have almost a 3 week backlog of jobs, and the times promised to customer apparently range anywhere between next day and 10 days, so most of the people I dealt with today were pissed off that 3 weeks after bringing their machine in they still haven’t heard from us. As per a typical day, I didn’t get anything done that I wanted to and I left 30 minutes late because I want to get a 20 minute job finished that I didn’t have time for during the day and I thought I would be playing it safe my saying tomorrow than trying to get it done today. At the moment I feel fine, apart from my legs aching like a motherfucker, I’m possibly ready to fall unconscious at any moment. How long it will last though, I don’t know. I really think I need to take a week off every three months or so. And one of those times I will actually do something or go somewhere. Honest.
What exactly the point of this post is I don’t know… :-P
