    Had some days like that in foodservice, most often on Fridays. 5am start, sit around for an hour or so until my trailer shows up, run like crazy and don’t get back until after 7pm.

    I used to be the receiver at a big box store, and while I admit I was a dick sometimes, Coke was always my favorite delivery because of how easy it was. They send the shipment information electronically as soon as it’s loaded on the trailer, so all I had to do is sign for it and scan a barcode to receive it into our system. Only problem was when they showed up with 10 pallets and the backroom was such a mess that there was nowhere to put it.

    I gotta go in a 10 am again today. Fell asleep at 9 pm, just woke up. Probably won't be able to fall asleep again until about 6am just to get up again at 8 lol. What's the worst part about the threat of this hurricane? Having to work day shift lol. That is some first world problems right there lol. I'm a gigantic baby.

    I just now remembered today is a holiday and I don’t have to work until Tuesday night. I guess now I really don’t have an excuse to keep procrastinating on all those chores I need to do around the house.

    I have to work and as much as I keep crying about having to work day shift you just reminded me that it's a holiday. 8 hours holiday pay and OT for all hours worked. That makes it a lil better lol.

    If my brother and I would’ve known the hurricane was going to stall, we could’ve got my exhaust job on my pickup done. I need to try out my new specialty wrenches from Harbor Freight.

    Okay now I'm being a baby and I'm pissed. Twice the ####ing volume as yesterday. They specifically said they weren't gonna slam us with it all in one day (I knew they would but still mad). Now that everyone realized the storm isn't gonna kill us they got all of the orders they put off in one day. This wouldn't bother me except they still have us on ####ing day shift. If I wanted day shift I would have signed up for day shift. Sorry for the rant but I'm exhausted because.....I work night shift and have got not nearly enough sleep the last two days.

    I'm definitely pulling the hos card at 14 hours. I'm hauling everything now, not just water so I don't consider this disaster work.
