The day – Saturday the 16th of May… I think. I say think because my higher brain functions seem to not be working as they should.
Once again dear readers I have had 2 fifteen hour days one of which meant me missing a disciplinary hearing for the third time. How consistent of our shift management to not schedule my workload to enable me to get back for it. They more than made up for it though yesterday.
One of our contracts is to a well known sandwich chain and runs mostly overnight apart from a couple of routes which start at seriously stupid o’clock in the morning due to delivery restrictions. The shift management decided to re-arrange my Friday route to hear the disciplinary at 1030 in the morning. This meant that I was on a really early start of 0045. I must admit that I didn’t know that time existed.
There are always two of us on these routes which always helps and I was completely finished and home by about 1200. This was lovely and SWMBO was pleased to see me. There was however a huge downside to being home that early and that manifested itself in the form of sleep deprivation. After showering, shaving and changing I crashed and burned big style resulting in an hour and a half’s deep sleep. This isn’t good for me as it takes me a good 40 minutes to properly wake up after that sort of kip. I normally try to just have a 20 minute power nap and that refreshes me.
Add that to today’s route and once again I find myself seriously flagging in the evening as I type this so I apologise for having nothing interesting to relate but I shall try to rectify this tomorrow, assuming that I recover in time from 7’s rugby tomorrow.
Until later and some sleep
