I like Sundays. They are my only day off. Over the last several weeks I've managed to sleep pretty late on Sundays, sometimes until noon or later.
Imagine my aggravation at hearing the following at 5a.m. today: "You might want to wake up; you have a flat tire. Again." Needless to say, things could only go up from there. Thing is, they sure are taking their time.
I've had a few good moments today. Jenn provided me a little breakfast and we had a nice dinner together. She also did an OUTSTANDING! job of cutting my hair tonight and we have had a few other decent moments.
Sadly, my sleep-deprived temper is running short and I've reacted badly to a number of things, so it's not been all roses.
Saturday was a disaster at work. A different field supervisor handled the closing and was botching it, so I ended up picking up work and staying out until roughly 10pm in order to try to get everything on track. Part of that included rescheduling a job for today so I could go back in daylight and actually be able to see what I was doing. It's amazing the areas of this county that have high concentrations of people and very little lighting.
The details would bore the uninitiated, so suffice to say I have asked to close every Saturday and run a full route during a week day to make up for this. The net result is that we should see business handled better on Saturdays and I should make more money each week. Win-win situation, don't you think?
