Got called last, at work, around 10 pm, and was told 2 people called off today. So, I get to replace 2 people today and work a double. All on less than 5 hours sleep. Yea. See you on the other side, Gotta go!
Well, it was Monday and it was cold and windy. The High temperature today was, 19 F. Not superbad, if we're talking January, but, it is still November and it is a bit Harsh for November.
Anyway, I am off to bed. I hope everyone here on TPU is doing well. Good Night!
Well, today was a bit of cluster. 1st thing, just moments after clocking in, some guy assaulted an innocent guy just waiting on his friend in Starbucks. Dude became unhinged because he thought innocent guy was staring at him. Which was not the case until the sh*tbird made himself noticeable by his actions.
Well, my work week is done. but, still have to get up and go meet w/ (what's left of it) my Family in the morning. Wwe are having Thanksgiving a day early to fit all of our schedules, except for my brother's . Al has to work and Stephan is living in California. My Sister and my Nephew, his girlfriend and maybe one more nephew.
Boy, today I was having a tough time getting out of bed! I got home last night exhausted, but couldn't sleep. I was wide awake at 3 am. I think I may have nodded off, about an half hour later. I woke up at 10:30 am, and immediately re-set my alarm.
Got home, went to the bathroom and just now took off my boots. It's been a long day and I am gonna relax a bit, playing Raid, then hit the sack. So, Good Night TPU!
Well, it is time for bed. I hope everyone is having a Great Weekend, so far. I will be working, as usual. It's not so bad, keeps me outta trouble. Anyway, Good Night TPU!
I got called last night at 11 PM, our Control Operator called off and I had to go to work today 7am-3 pm. I had to get up and catch a bus at 5:45 AM this morning. I got home @4:30 and took a nap, until a few minutes ago. Now, it's time to fix some grub and play Raid for a few hours.
Well, did not get to the bike shop, since I was so comfortable reading at the coffee shop, it got late. So, I went to a new bar, built in the old bar, that closed during Covid. Had 2 beers, and read some more, in the corner on a couch w/ a nice light. I would have stayed longer but,
OK, I am gonna go to a Coffee Shop, in Lowertown, for a late Breccie and a bit of a read. Then maybe across the road to Union Station, where my local non-profit Bicycle shop is, and have another Coffee and shoot the wind with the caretaker. After that? IDK. We'll see where the rest of the day goes. (P.S. I might stay in and do some laundry, tonight.)
I had a nice Dinner and read a bit. I then walked down to the bar for a shot of Maker's then came home and watched the end of the Hockey game, Wild lost... Anyway, gonna go to bed. Good Night TPU!
OK, so, just finished 5 days of work. 56 Hours. equivalent to 7 Eight Hour Shifts. Did I mention 5 days?
So, yea, my feet hurt and I am exhausted. Worse part of the day, today? Having to stand on the Metro Bus, because of crowding, for over 20 minutes on the Highway, in traffic (speed up, slow down, curve right, curve left, and etc.)
Well one 12 hour day down. One more, then 2 8's, then done for 3 days. Probably the last time I will have 3 days off for a while ( One of our Sgt.'s is leaving, for another job, after this week). I'll be back to 48 hour weeks for a spell. Oh well, it should help me pay of the bike sooner, if nothing else!
Well I thought I was missing a package, checked the vender site, checked the tracking...Then looked at the item that was supposed to be delivered to my PO Box on the 12th. Turns out, I did pick it up, last Thu. somehow, the two didn't click. Until I was totally dressed and ready to go.
I'm home from Key's cafe and Hunans bar. saw my buddy Comcast John, and Joe and Carrie and Steve. Hunan's is about to be sold, all the decorations and stuff are gone. Joe, the owner for 50 years is ailing with his health and has no offspring that wants the bar.
OK, it's good to be back home! I left for work Monday at 1:30 pm. Got home tonight, @ midnight after working 24 hours and a nap at the hotel. My legs and knee are sore, feet are tingling. But, I am having a Whiskey and a couple beers (last 2) while playing RAID. Then when the beer is gone, I am going to bed.
Well made it through another 12 hour day, only a couple of people had to be put out, fortunately they were cooperative. I really didn't want to get physical with anyone today, had a horrible night of sleep and was barely awake all day. I am gonna have a whiskey and maybe a beer, or two.
Well, woke up late for work today, set my alarm wrong. Also, looks like I have a 16 hour day Tuesday. It also looks like I may still get my days off, just the extra shift on Tuesday. So, yea, kinda good, no?
