Tuesday 15th May - Really Really Busy

Blog: Frustrated Businessman
Posted by: knightrider45 Tuesday 15th May 2007, 6:05am

Where does time go, and why does it go so fast these days? Its been 5 days since I blogged, and I can't believe its been so long.

I've had to put all plans on hold for a fortnight or so because one of my colleagues at work has gone sick, and with another one soon to start his holiday, its all hands on deck between the remaining staff.

Letty blogged a reply to one of my blogs lately about me trying to get out of going to a barbeque, and she said I really ought to go and give the people socialising thing a go. Well, I thought, ok then, I'd go (thanks Letty) but then, I had a phone call..........

I ended up working Saturday night from 6pm until 1pm Sunday dinnertime (Lunch time in Norfolk), went home, got three hours sleep, just to take the edge of it as I was really tired, and the rest of the day just went. Up at 5am monday, and today, as I'm doing 2 twelve hour day shifts on my days off, I've managed to get Wednesday off (Hooray for a lie in), then back on nights Thursday/Friday.

Not bad for a week of, eh? I'm set the my best month ever in the wages department as I'm only having 4 days off this month, mainly to change over from nights to days, for a single day, then I'm back on nights the day after. So I finish nights 7am Saturdays, off on Saturday night, work days Sundays, then back on nights Mondays.

My body clocks going to be totally shot through by the end of May, but as I said earlier, it's going to be my best month ever with the overtime, and bank holiday working.

I've had to put my xray off at the QE (that was going to be Monday) and my doctors review about the anti depressants (Tuesday), but I'm hoping to be able to get a doctors appointment tommorow. Still not feeling any different physically, but I am now sleeping, and sleeping very deeply and not waking up every so often, so that's a bonus. And I haven't had a Black Mood for ages either - so obviously somethings starting to kick in somewhere. I still crave isolation and need to be on my own though.

And I've had to put off relaunching the business for a fortnight. This is going to become more and more difficult to restart now as the new rota kicks in at work next month and I lose my blocks of days off which is 7 now, and its going to go down to three days off now, So times going to be tight.

But, at the moment, wages are my priority, and with the interest rate rise last week, and with another one forecast next month, my mortgage alone is going to be £900 monthly by August.
