jon_chaissonStill feeling sleepy recently. I know part of it is because I slept like crap Thursday into Friday, one of the days when I had to wake up stupid early, so I was running on like four hours rest, caffeine and sugar and not much else. I slept better the next night, but it's also allergy season so was either snoring and was prodded awake by A or I kept waking up every couple of hours to turn over. Someone suggested I get tested on it or wear one of those night breathing things but to be honest that would keep me ALL the way awake instead. I don't like covering my face at night.
I think I'm also a bit exhausted because this past week has been full of spreading myself too thin. I've been thinking lately that perhaps it's partly my own fault this time out, because I'm used to being told 'this needs to be done, so figure it out' even after I've asked for help by my former boss. I can see this sort of sliding in that direction again, but in this particular instance I actually have been told by 2nd level manager to let them know if I can't get something done right away. I also tend to say 'yeah, I can take this on, it's slow' only to think that I still need to do said extra thing even when Unexpected Fires start. [Now, I think there's a bit of a conversation I need to have with them about radio communication, as they do sometimes tend to call me then immediately ask me to do something before I can respond that I might be busy. And I have told them multiple times that if I'm talking to a customer, I'm not going to interrupt them with 'hold on a second' to answer the radio, because that's just rude. Though perhaps responding to said boss with 'hold that thought, I'm helping a customer' works instead.] Either way, these are things I've always had a problem with in the past so it's something I need to work on.
That said, I did have a bit of gas left in the tank to drive down to the garden shop to pick up a few new plants for our community garden plot and get them planted and watered. The rest of the afternoon has pretty much been hanging out here in the office but not doing much else other than laundry. And thankfully I'm doing midshifts the next few days so I can sleep in a bit.
Writing? Am I writing lately? Well, that's another post entirely...
