Black Night Tales

 


Thursday 10th December 2020

I got to sleep probably around 7:30 or so, woke at ten past twelve thinking it was two, until I realised and went back to sleep, eventually.


I always have trouble falling to sleep.


I woke up at two, had a cuppa, breakfast, washed and did my teeth, before going out at 2:40 to catch the launderette before they close at 3pm (2 hours earlier than pre-Covid), get an eBay parcel from Argos, and had to leave my car in the Morrison’s car park, as the space I was parked in on the street had now been taken, and I had no change to park elsewhere!


I’m so tired lately.


Went to get shopping from Morrison’s, got change for parking elsewhere, and found a space. Go figure...  At least I have the change for car parking now, just in case.


I’m sick of the tiredness and headaches lately!



Thursday night shift

No call outs, which was good because I was so bloody tired! Got my work done though, which is a ridiculous thing to say as it’s incredibly rare that I miss any of my work.


It’s now Friday night shift that I’m writing this, so obviously can’t really go into too much detail, as it’s a busy night for me!


At about five to six in the morning, with my finishing time of seven thirty, all I had left were two unlocks. I chatted with ex-mobile driver Les, who is now the 77 motors static guard. It was good to catch up, as he’s been on furlough.


Nice steady end to the shift then, although I still got home around eight o’clock.  I had parked my car in a car park again, and then for some reason I looked on Twitter to find a post about Dame Barbara Windsor passing away.


I put up a post on Instagram, that was automatically reposted up to twitter and Facebook.

Woke up a little before two in the afternoon, after getting to sleep a little before nine.  A short sleep, but I have editing to do on a show!


If Matt at work hadn’t been such an arsehole, and had worked the shifts he should have, then I would have got the editing done on the Wednesday I was supposed to be off, as opposed to shortening the sleep between shows in order to get the editing done!



Friday night shift

Tired all night, one client asked why I wasn’t at their place at 6:15pm to lock up, to which my answer was “my board told me to do it at 6:30pm!”, alarm sounding on arrival at a site to find everything was okay, a lorry driver at a static guard’s site was kicking off over having to wear a mask, so I showed up to back them up just in case, and the fog was once more terrible.


Shitty weather made my attitude even shittier!

49 to 50

Hey y’all... I’m trying to sound all “street” there, but it’s not working is it?!?!?!  So, the transition from 49 to 50 then, what’s it like? Thinking back to what I remember of going from 39 to 40, I was thinking then about the old adage of “life begins at 40”! What a crock of shit that was, and so is going from 49 to 50...  Someone asked me about it, saying “what’s it like to turn 50?” My answer was something along the lines of “like it’s a day after being 49!” I’ve still got thin hair on my head, with lots of grey therein. I still make the money at the same job, which I’ll probably still unfortunately be doing in a year when I’ll turn 51!  The changes that have happened recently have very little to do with that transition.  Or do they? I’ve mentioned before to people, particularly fellow podcasters, but I think also in my previous blog series (Ramblings of a Forty Something), that I had been thinking about doing some new things, because the then still a few months...
