gridloreIn the past two days, I've racked up close to five hours of overtime, didn't have a lunch break either day, and put close to 500 miles on the truck. Last night, I got maybe an hour of sleep.
So, yeah. No work for me today.
The irony here is that these long days aren't being caused by a massive overload of work, we're just not getting out of the warehouse! I start at 0530. Yesterday, it was about 0730 before I finally knew what I was carrying and where it was going. Of course, some of the material was at 7th St., so add the time to shoot down there and load more stuff. End result? I made my first delivery of the day to a site about 2 miles from the warehouse at 0900 - 3.5 hours after I came in. Then I had to drive this route.
The late start meant that I had to race to make all my deliveries before people left for the day. So, no lunch, no breaks, and utter exhaustion. which probably explains why I couldn't sleep last night. When I'm this wiped out, sleep is difficult.
