Layout of a Day
Damn. Here it is Tuesday and I'm pretty much on the same track I've been on for a while now. 2 thoughts. That's it. Just 2.
One is private. It's all mine and, well honestly, I'm afraid to share it. The men in white coats might show up and I don't have any cobbler to offer.
The other? Work. Work work work work work.
I'm still waking up early as all get out. Same routine I've had for years. Wake-up around 4:30 or so, drink coffee and try and wake-up. Then.......around 6:00 start working. Whether it's on the phone (yes, there are voicemails and return calls I can make at that time of the morning!) or checking stuff on line.
My mornings are USUALLY pretty good. Lots of focus, and everything seems to click. But as the hands make their way around the face of my old-timers clock I know it's gonna go down hill fast.
Around 2:00 central time the shit hits the fan. Every single day. And it just sinks from there. By 5:00 all the plants are closed, everyone is home and my phone just keeps ringing.
And me. With no answers. I've got to readjust to that. I'm used to taking care of things Right Now. If it's an issue fix it and then you don't have to worry about follow-up. Nothing drops through the cracks.
Yeah, my cracks are kinda full right now......huh. might need to find a better way to say that
It's just a damned good thing I'm a morning person.
I'm just sayin'......if you call in the afternoon, don't expect any witty conversation. You'll probably get more of a grunt, a groan and a heavy sigh. And no.....it's not what you're thinking.......

Hang in there!
